Did you miss the whole republicans rigging elections bit, or the whole oligarchy seizing control of the democratic party and running it as a controlled opposition constitutionally weak and unwilling to challenge the degeneration into fascism?
It’s not different, not anymore. Because enough people trusted the democrats, and still do, to run opposition, we are on the cusp of losing what is still honest in our elections. ie, I wouldn’t assume the president outperforming poll numbers is all the fault of the pollsters, given the party’s open fixing of elections.
Trump won 77,284,118 votes, or 49.8 percent of the votes cast for president. That is the second highest vote total in U.S. history, trailing only the 81,284,666 votes that Joe Biden won in 2020. Trump won 3,059,799 more popular votes in 2024 than he won in 2020 and 14,299,293 more than he won in 2016.
Also Americans: It was rigged! It was rigged!
It’s quite clear the imagination of people on the left is strong enough to imagine a right wing style elite lizard people are controlling the world narrative than accept that more people liked Trump than Kamala
You don’t have universal healthcare because your population keeps voting against it, you have so much money going to your military and keep having wars because you keep voting for it (or not showing up to vote)
Same could be said of the US.
iran is a dictatorship though that brutally kills 10’s of thousands of people, hangs and executes anyone who attempts to change
America just needs to vote…
slightly different

The number of people around Lemmy who are making egregious stretches in an attempt to draw comparisons is astounding.
If this were Reddit, I’d assume it was astroturfing.
