I didn't vote for this.
Neither did I but 79 million idiots did, and 88 million didn't vote at all.
In a sense 167 million people wanted this shitshow so here we are.
Buy a gun, ammo, and canned goods. Form support groups with like minded people in your areas.
This summer is going to be a hootenanny of epic proportion.
Sorry. I asked for a ballot with a non-genocidal name on the ticket and was told I needed to leave the building.
Friend tried to vote, but she didn't have a DL yet (chronic Metro rider) and her student card didn't count as a valid Real ID.
Mom voted in a suburb that was gerrymandered 55/45 Republican a few years earlier. She got to vote by mail because she was a senior citizen. But nobody younger than her has that privilege anymore.
Then there was the woman who issued a provisional ballot because she was out on parole and wasn't sure if she could legally vote again. Police arrested her for it.
Maybe there's a reason turnout has been falling that goes farther than "people had a case of the stupids suddenly".
You were told not to vote as part of a campaign to get liberal voters to stay home. You fell for it.
It was a campaign to stop a genocide. Harris chose to throw her campaign instead of winning votes.
You chose to make the genocide escalate dramatically. You cut off Gazans noses to spite Harris' face.
i don't work for the state department
Can't be reiterated how many times Harris attacked her own base and ate away at the coalition Biden had used to win four years early.
But it's never the politician's fault for alienating the voters. It's always those stupid disloyal single-issue anti-genocide voters.
It's both of your faults. Multiple things can be true at once; such as correctly understanding that genocide is bad while also simultaneously being too fucking stupid to vote against the obvious fascist.
Why is a random person on the Internet held to the same level of culpability as a sitting executive branch official?
I always find it amazing that people want to blame those that couldn't stomach to vote for genocide. Instead of blaming the ones with the money, the power, and the platform that chose to hand the election to Trump in order to keep supporting genocide.
You ever get that speech on a plane about putting on your own oxygen mask before helping others?
I sure have. I'm not sure how that's relevant to the conversation.
The Democratic party was told not to run disastrously unpopular candidates, they did so anyways, then blamed the electorate for their defeat.
Seems like you fell for it.
