77 million Americans is not the same as all Americans. Prior poster was dumb for saying Trump lost the popular vote in '24, but that still leaves 75 million people who actively voted against this and many more who voted 3rd party in states where the conclusion was pre-determined anyway (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, read this).
Further, you need to understand that the US doesn’t have legitimate left-wing political organization. The Democrats are more or less equivalent to most center-right parties in Europe (in action, if not in rhetoric) and The Republicans are the extreme right-wing. Actual leftists in the US are completely disenfranchised, constantly demonized in the public sphere, and ostracized by most of “polite” society. People who would be members of a leftist party if they lived in another country are mostly propagandized or demoralized into supporting the Democrats, who again, are a center-right party. This is a problem that predates Trump, so we don’t even have a recent history of being able to effectively organize, win elections, or make our demands heard.
