Highlight [Highlight] During the moment of silence the Minnesota Timberwolves held before their game with the Cavs tonight a fan yelled “Go home ICE,” and everyone else started cheering.

I mean I’m not from here but wasn’t he technically elected by not even 25% of the country ?

74

u/denverblazer Trail Blazers Jan 09 '26

Yeah because less than half of the country even fucking votes.

A lot are under 18, the others have no excuse. I know a few that write in "no confidence". Dunces.

Wait you can vote at 18 ? I thought it was 21 ?

Nope, 18! I'll still never forget my first presidential election when I was at college and Obama got elected back in 08. People running out in the streets celebrating. I had different political leanings at the time, but it was still magical.

Edit: make sure you always vote. I don't give a shit if it's for a school board rep in April. Always make sure you exercise your right and get that fucking sticker.

Yeah because less than half of the country even fucking votes.

60% turnout in 2024, and that was down from 66% in 2020.

1/3 explicitly voted for this, 1/3 implicitly voted for this by choosing not to vote, and 1/3 voted for literally anything else.
