39 mil for Potato Joe just about makes sense. A lot of Bernie bros got screwed (again) in the primary by the DNC. A big number of them likely sat it out. Shrillary would tick enough boxes for them to vote for her, but getting Gropey Joe as the nom would have been like us getting Jeb or Romney.
The only real voting bloc for Gropey would be hardcore dems who vote in every election, plus the firm dem base who wanted Trump out no matter what. Gropey was underperforming even Shrillary among minority voters says a lot too. Blacks (especially) and Hispanics are a big part of the dem base. Dems have long lost working class white union voters. There wasn't a huge war or recession, no real reason for the normies to want Trump gone.
Add to it that Potato Joe is just about the worst candidate the dems ever put up. Obvious mental capacity issues, but he was never that exciting in his prime. Especially with indies and moderates. I could see if the Dems put up RFK or Bernie, it would have been different.
So yeah, 39 mil would just about make sense when you take everything into context.
