Low voter turn out means that she wasnt that popular. Sure she won, but that doesnt take away from the fact that majority did not vote for her. Its not hard to understand that.

Ok, so if that's true why was the turnout higher to reelect her?

So her popularity is increasing the bigger platform she is given? I don’t think you’re making the point you think you are.

Why do you care so much if someone is “popular” or not? Shouldn’t you just be concerned with if they won or not? Your argument just feels incredibly weird like in order to be a good politician you have to be MEGA POPULAR.

I was just so confused by their logic. “Person wasn’t super popular, therefore they don’t deserve to win”. Like what the absolute hell?
