        Any impact protest voters might have had could be outweighed a thousandfold by nonvoters. Why call out protest voters unprompted as a cause of an election swing when their impact is a drop in an ocean?

        Half the country didn’t vote, if 1% of them would have leaned Biden but didn’t vote they would still have more impact than protest voters. I feel like the percentage leaning Biden might have been slightly higher than 1% too.

        Idk if you’re familiar with the phrase “proving a negative” or “burden of proof” but you should maybe try looking them up and learning a little bit about why you’re wrong
