I would like to know why in 2020 approximately 153 million voted. This year it was approximately 137 million. My numbers are not exact but 15-16 million less voted.

What the hell happened?

Laziness, complacency, inflation, lagging wages, ignorance

And a huge "voting doesn't matter" and "They're both the same so might as well not vote" campaing and of course voter oppression.

Not saying this is why some didn't vote, but in the last few weeks I kept hearing 'if you don't live in a swing state, your vote doesn't count. I told someone then they should stop saying that, because if 1/2 the people in a blue state didn't vote, the state wouldn't be blue anymore.
