You're comfused. 33% of Americans did not vote. To say you're part of that 33% means you didn't vote.
They didn't say they were part of that 33%, they said they were "part of the 33% that said..." Which is a different third of the population
That doesn't make any sense. Harris had 48.3% of the vote.
33% didn't vote. That means 66% did vote. Of the 66% that voted half of them voted against Trump.
Now, what is half of 66%? 33% is half of 66%.
So the commenter is saying they are in the 33% of Americans that voted for Kamala.
33% Trump, 33% Kamala, 33% no vote.
FrostyTD has got it right. Sorry for the confusion, I really shouldn't comment before caffeine.
Freaking coffee zombies, lol
