Considering last night's results, I don't expect NATO to be credible 4 years from now

Yes, I would agree in the past. But in this case 15 million votes would have to be very strategically placed to change the outcome (basically worse then the gerrymandering the Republican party is called out for). I don't think people are rationally looking at these election numbers and are just falling back to the old rhetoric. For fun try and put 15 million votes down and change the result.
Ok, I didn't look at the states that Harris won, because that would've taken longer and complicated things.
Only looked at states that trump won.
Interesting fact: if you strategically place 12 million more votes, you can win literally every single state and secure all votes.
Most fun way to win (imo): 1.5 million in Texas for 40 votes and then another 1.5 million in Florida for another 30.
Most efficient points/voter states:
Michigan needed 80k for 15 votes
Georgia needed 120k for 16
Pennsylvania needed 145k for 19
And Nevada needed 52k for 6
For a grand total of 400k you'd get 56 votes that could've taken Harris from 226 to 282 and would've secured the win.
Other close calls:
North Carolina needed 200k for 16 votes
Arizona needed 140k for 11
Yes, and see how you need to play god to do this? Now lets say you only have 10 mil and a republican can do the same thing with another 10 mil? What if you could only move votes around?
This election was lost from those close call states, true. They could have in hindsight won this by getting 80k people in buses in Michigan and Nevada, but they did not do that.
Oh, yeah, definitely. I think everyone's got their share of the blame. The whole thing is fucked.
