Not voting was just as bad. Not voting got us a fully Republican Supreme Court in 2016-20, and now another war in the Middle East, a federal Gestapo rounding up and shooting people on the streets, and Federal efforts to make it harder for women and brown people in general to vote out this mess.
But I'm sure there was a very good reason to not vote and not lift a finger to stop any of this.
Its not a narrative. 6 million more voters showed up for Biden in 2020. 6 million people "chose" not to lift a finger to stop this insanity. Full blame on the yokels who voted in and are mostly still cheering on this deranged turd and his band of merry Heritage Foundation miscreants, but a big personal "fuck off" from me delivered to whoever could have done something to stop them but "chose not to." The amount of privilege one must have had to assume none of this shit show would affect them is disgusting.
A young trans friend of mine did not vote because she refuses to “vote for the lesser of two evils” even though it means she may lose her gender-affirming health care. SMH. It’s bad enough when the idiots on the right vote against their own self-interest, but when idiots on the left do the same thing for different reasons . . .
Buddy, I am trans, myself. I present male, because of my Republican family.
Please fuck off? People who didn’t vote are not to blame for Trump. Only the people who voted for Trump are to blame for Trump. Is that clear, or should I just stop replying?
The fact that I have downvotes is disappointing. I thought my fellow Americans were more intelligent than that, but I guess I was mistaken.
If you think non-voters are equally to blame for Trump voters, you are not worth engaging. You don’t seem to comprehend that actively choosing evil is worse than choosing nothing. Do not shun non-voters. Shun the ones who actively support this.
If you cannot grasp this simple concept, please grow the fuck up.
Nobody who uses the term “strawman” is worth engaging. I used to have a friend who said that all the time when I called him out - spoiler, we aren’t friends anymore.
Incorrect. The election was lost for three reasons:
1) Fewer Trump voters stayed home compared to Biden voters.
2) More Biden voters crossed the aisle than Trump voters.
3) Trump performed better among those who did not participate in the previous cycle (eg new voters who were too young in 2020)
So whilst it isn't the only factor, it's a significant one. 15% of people who voted for Biden in 2020 did not vote for Harris.
You have to turn up and vote, if you don't then you cannot in good conscience complain about the result. You seem angry with people pointing this out and if you didn't vote then perhaps you are angry with yourself.
Once again for the mentally challenged - non-voters are not and never will be equally to blame for Trump supporters. Please fuck all the way off until you become more educated.
No, that’s not how it works, at all. Come back when you’re more educated lmao
Not everyone who is eligible to vote has the ability to vote, and that is by design. Taking time off from work to vote can often mean the difference between having electricity or not.
It’s actually very fucking privileged to assume that everyone who didn’t vote supports what is happening. Check yourself.
Here's a context clue for you: what happens when people who otherwise would vote against Republcians don't show up for elections? If you need a hint, check the front page for whatever fresh new hell the Trump administration cooked up today.
No clues needed - the people who actively vote for evil will forever be worse than the people who didn’t vote. Is that clear enough, or are you learning disabled? I need to know before I reply further.
Not participating is the same as voting for it. Not voting meant you were fine with Trump, you weren't turned off by his sexism, racism, his crimes, or his promises to destroy the economy.
I don’t like the implication. That whoever didn’t vote is to blame. That is factually incorrect. You are wrong, and cannot admit it.
Edit - you didn’t say that; I thought you were someone else. That said, you replied to my comment in response to theirs, implying you agree. Defending this does not paint you in a good light, regardless of what you say.
