Tankues hve advocated to not vote democrat over gaza and less people voted for hillary than for biden.
Of course there’s no way proving this is true (and it shouldn’t, since voting should be nonymous) and it certainly was until a certain part also racism and sexism, but the intensity of the calls to boycott dems and Harris having way less votes than Biden is suspicious.

There’s nothing suspicious about it. Voters have spent the last eight years watching their bills for food, health care, child care, and everything else spiral out of control without any meaningful help from Republicans or Democrats.
These millions opted not to miss work to vote because they know definitively that the two choices they had wouldn’t do anything to change how hard their lives have become.
Do people only work every hour of a weekday in America? Plus don’t they have a system for voting ahead of time via post too, which you could sort out on a weekend leading up as well?
Do people only work every hour of a weekday in America?
Many do, yes. The majority of our population is so vastly underpaid that they work upwards of 100 hours a week at multiple jobs. (Which, as you can imagine, might inspire them to see a sort of futility in voting to begin with.) Also elections can entail hours-long waiting in line.
Plus don’t they have a system for voting ahead of time via post too
It depends on your state and local jurisdiction. Your right to vote by mail (or to vote conveniently) depends on where you live.
Do businesses in America not let their employees go and vote during work hours?
Technically, businesses are required by law to provide leave to vote, but it’s a dubious prospect and depends largely on your employer in the end because (like many things in our capitalist hellscape) it can cost a lot of money to obtain legal recourse if your employer doesn’t follow the law.
Our system of voting is designed to be a massive pain in the ass.
Even if OP isn’t advocating thta, I am.

It’s that simple.
Why would you have to miss work to vote?
Because elections occur on a weekday.
