As someone already pointed out, Harrison received 12,000,000 less votes than Biden.  12,000,000 people suddenly didn't 'get dumb' in that time period.  Many simply do not agree with the liberal platform.  

And it's not that those voters switched to voting for a fascist wannabe dictator, they simply didn't have an alternative to vote for.

Because partisanship and voting preference are highly correlated – and most adults stick with their preferred party over time – voter turnout is often a key factor in understanding why there are changes in electoral outcomes year to year.

In the 2024 presidential election, a higher share of Donald Trump’s 2020 voters than Joe Biden’s 2020 voters turned out to vote. Trump also won a higher share of those who had not voted four years earlier. This is different than in 2020 and 2016, when those who didn’t vote in the previous presidential election favored Democratic candidates.

It's all proof a 2-party system can't work. Your only choice is to vote for what you don't like or not vote at all. 
Hence politics adds/propaganda in the US are all about, don't vote for the other guy. 

In the end, pretty much all political candidates in the US are in the pockets of corporations and Aipac.

The stupidity can be found in 2010 "Citizens United vs FEC" where the supreme court ruled (5-4) that corporations and unions have the same First Amendment rights as individuals, meaning they can spend unlimited amounts of money on political advertising independently of candidates.

Citizens United of course being a nice name to misdirect from what they actually stand for: Billionaires United.

Correct.  Think about what you just said in your post.  People didn't vote for Harris and they didn't switch sides, they didn't vote.... so voters are stupid isn't the rationale for the loss.  The rationale is a huge portion of people were NOT motivated to vote Harris.  Exactly my point.
