35. Yes, because non-voters is where the election really was lost

An analysis of the various demographic groups and how they voted, how they shifted from Biden '20 to 💩 '24, is fine, but the real shift was in the did-not-vote-at-all demographic. (Registered Dems or not)

This is also, imho, a demographic that's disproportionately targeted by the GOP -- they're the ones most easily discouraged and/or prevented from voting or even trying to vote. Poor, no ID, less educated, etc., etc.
