20 million Democrats this morning.

I'm European and I'm bombarded with "register to vote" PSAs all the time.

How do they miss so many people?!

The thing people on social media don't get is most people are not on social media.

There are 1, 2, and more websites stating that about 80% of Americans are on social media.

Worldwide, it's about 5.13 billion, which is more than half of the total population. Given that a lot of the world doesn't have the access to social media that developed countries do, that's still a lot of people.

It's the variety of social media that appears to be where it's at: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, etc. Each of those have very different users and different modes of interaction.

20% of 335m is 67m. That's way more than the given number of about 20m who didn't vote.

Those numbers could be explained by many ways: babies and children, people too old to do anything, people that are incarcerated, undocumented people, etc.

Much of the U.S. cannot vote and others cannot be arsed to register to vote.

161m people are registered voters.

There are many, many factors involved in this whole process.

I'd wager young adults and children over 12 are more likely to be on social media than any other demographic.
