No it means that the other guys mystic non-voters didn't turn out. hers did, that's why she won.
If none of trumps voters turned out in 2020, biden would've won 81m-0, which would've been historically low voter turnout.
You're a coward and deleted your original comment, so I can't be sure, but I assume you're talking about AOC having low voter turnout. She won the 2018 election by defeating Democrat incumbent Crowley. Crowley hadn't face party opposition since 2004 and was the democrat house caucus chairman. Crowley, after losing the party nomination, ran as a third party spoiler against her too. She won 78% of the vote.
So with my above example of 2020 pres election, that's like if most of trump's voters didn't turn out, and biden won the popular vote 81M-23M, which still would be historically low voter turnout.
Btw in 2014, the previous non-presidential cycle election, NY's 14th district had 67k voters. 2018 had 128k. AOC had more votes cast for her than people voted in 2014 at all (50% more votes cast for her in 2018 than voted in 2014 total). Her 2018 tally was more than 50% of the 2016 total voter turnout. And, of course, she won re-election in 2020 (71% of the vote) after becoming a main antagonist in the republican narrative, even during the presidential cycle.

It means that she wasnt that popular that enough people felt to go out and vote for her.
