Absolutely. But he's an elected official, im speaking specifically of voters. White libs consistently do not show up to the polls (doubly so for white men)
Oh fuck off, as if leftists consistently show up to vote. Who was it again who decided to boycott the election in 2024 and helped trump get elected because they couldn't hold their nose and vote for the person who wasn't perfect but also want a fascist?
Just stop with this cheap, worn-out virtue signal. You're not scoring any points. No one thinks you're morally superior just because you use "white men" as a punching bag on the internet.
There's far more nuance than that to every situation, and what you're doing is both racist and sexist. So unless you can cite some reputable statistics that show a disproportionate amount of non-voting eligible voters are white men, just stop.

Did the math for you. 80% of self identified US leftists vote. White libs alone nearly double the amount of leftists in america. The amount of registered white libs that don't show up to vote is close to the total amount of leftists in the country. If white liberals showed up to the polls as consistently as leftist did, kamala would've won by a landslide
Your math was terribly flawed and I already broke down why. I'm not going to repeat it here.
Blaming Kamala's loss on liberals not showing up to vote while claiming leftists did their part is fucking wild.
Were you fucking sleeping through all the "boycott the vote" astroturfing from the left? It hasn't even stopped!
