Third party canidates did not receive enough votes to sway anything this election.

The biggest spike was in non-voters. Around 16M - overwhelmingly Dems - stayed home between 2020 and 2024.

Dems were successful in scaring voters off the Green Party. Greens got 1.4M voters in 2016 and a mere 636k voters in 2024.

But that was just a tiny slice of the overall atrophy of progressive support.

Socialism or Barbarism... We're making a choice
