I looked it up, and the difference in the voting numbers are close for each swing state when you compare the results from 2020 and 2024. Another factor is that there are more eligible voters in each state so voter turnout was still less as a percentage when you factor in population growth

The person you’re replying to also said “non voters” which was definitely a significant chunk of people compared to 2020’s voter turnout

Kamala shouldn’t have to be at Obama’s level. A bucket of paint should be infinitely more attractive to everyone on the planet compared to a bigoted narcissist like Trump. The fact that it’s 50-50 proves whoever the Dems choose is not the problem.

Here's the best I could find- Trump's former Defense Secretary Mark Esper claimed in his book "A Sacred Oath" that Trump raised the idea of launching missiles into Mexico to combat drug cartels and proposed doing it covertly to avoid blame. Trump, when asked about this, did not deny the claim but instead chose to say "No comment"​ - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-esper-bomb-mexico-drug-labs-deny-b2074547.html

I hope this guy has a solid alibi if that bank ever goes up in flames one day

There was no residual gun powder found on his hands in the autopsy, which would normally be found on someone who just fired a gun - https://www.democracynow.org/2023/10/9/headlines/officers_who_fatally_shot_stop_cop_city_activist_wont_be_charged
