“Technically” “they” gave us a presidential and vice presidential candidate that wasn’t the demented incompetent rapist.
A “Screw the system“ non-vote gives us what we see here. It’s not rocket science.
I voted for Harris but it felt like a gun to my head because I despise her policies and the time she spent helping cops lock people up. She's a terrible candidate and the worst option for the time for the Dems. But she was the only one of two people who weren't a fascist, at least publicly. Neoliberal business strategy is fascism in a tailored suit and the current DNC and RNC are both pushing it onto us. The RNC at least understands how to ignore the people who won't vote for them.
The DNC needs a deep and thorough cleaning to remove all the neoliberal money grubbing from the party. Progressive politics is the only way to beat fascism at the ballot but business leaders are too scared of not making money.
No they tried to push an obviously senile man and then switched at the last minute. Then she pledged to rule the exact same way as that senile man, while the lower classes are having trouble affording luxuries like food. Turns out Marie Antoinette didn't have a popular position.
Okay, here’s your incompetent fascism. Bon appétit.
When the choice is oppression or sparkling oppression it's not exactly a head scratcher as to why people stayed home.
You are very clear then that the reason we'll have locusts and plagues and massive suffering is because people stayed home to bitch about "sparkling oppresion".
I mean, okay. That's the way you want it.
You're trying to argue logic with someone who is lying about their motivations. Whatever their real reason for not voting for kamala, it's so reprehensible that they would prefer you think that they are unimaginably stupid. I guess it must be difficult to be too liberal to admit that you are maga, but still be so full of hate for a race, gender, or whatever that you would rather say "fuck it, I'd rather see it all burn than elect a ".
I'm sorry, but there's just nothing you can say against someone who insists that 2+2-plurple.
Because of where I live, my vote literally would not have changed a damn thing in every election since I've been an adult. This includes having moved across the country. My vote has not or wouldn't have mattered in many different ways. It's all pointless.
And before you deflect to whine about local elections. I've done my "research" there before and most of those are wastes of time with little choice voting for small-time versions of the same power hungry losers that don't fix anything.
Well if you don't vote you can't bitch about it.
Literally everyone can vote or not vote and bitch all they want.
They can, and it's just as relevant as not-voting.
