electorate
The collective people of a country, state, or electoral district who are entitled to vote.
Seen in the wild
Billionaires build their power on a divided electorate who are divided by race and other factors. Without unity, they climb on our backs to the seats of power. Build unity or this will never get fixed.
I've even more tired of this mentally ill electorate...🤷♂️
We, the people, certainly did vote for this. Collectively the US electorate did vote for Trump. Being fully aware and warned of his personality (or lack thereof) and the project2025 plans.
Bass is a boring career politician. She is not bad but why set the bar so low? This is L.A. ffs. We need someone to fire up the electorate, like Mamdani. Raman comes the closest.
Wow. It’s really a reflection on the vulgarity and low quality of people representing Republican voters but their electorate doesn’t seem to get that.

(historical) The office, or area of dominion, of an elect]] the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire; an electorship.
Incoming governments normally announce that they will seek to serve the whole electorate. Now, playing out in triplicate across the UK is a "divide and rule" approach to leadership, straight from Donald Trump's playbook: each faction con…
Electorate means: The office, or area of dominion, of an elect]] the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire; an electorship.. The word is mostly archaic or historical; you will only encounter it in old texts, period drama, or school history rather than current teen conversation.
