This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
Ha ha but You voted for Genocide!
/s
So did the protest non-voters, even moreso than the Democrat ones.
The non-genocide position was literally impossible to express no matter what you tried to do.
But at least we didn’t help hurrying along the most recent great extinction!
I wonder if anything we built will last for the next sentient species that arises.
Well not voting in the American pres. election (or voting for someone sure to lose) was a half-vote for Donald. That’s just math.

Like everything you guys say, it’s lie.
Death to america.
Maybe they think the flooding won’t affect them on their moral high ground.

No need to stoop to their level. It legitimizes their behavior.
“They go low, We go high” is a fucking stupid appeasement strategy that has just allowed the fascist to take more and more control since Reagan and Nixon. Cut it out with this bullshit.
I was more speaking of the use of the word “retard” and I stand by it.
Attacking the use of an impolite word towards a literal fascist takeover is a distraction tactic that you have fallen for and now use against those who rightfully should be on the same side.
OK, my dude. You win. I just dont like that word. Bye
They’ll never claim an ounce of the responsibility they deserve, the fucking scumbags
Can we give this rhetoric a rest? The voting system, the enforced lack of alternatives, hell even really the people who voted for this shit are all much more to blame than people who didn’t vote. Or how about the fact “Multiple Republican-led administrations removed voters from their states’ voter rolls in the lead up to the election”? Or the fact you don’t even vote on the week-end, which is what pretty much all civilised countries do, to give more chances to more people especially poor people to get to the voting stations?
On top of that, how can you know what people who didn’t vote would have voted for? Some of the states with the lowest turnout are one that are historically considered more conservative-leaning (Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Missisipi, Tennessee). The results could have been “worse” (whatever that means, given the shitshow that is the Electoral College).
Really, it feels like it’s so much easier to blame a subset of people than to confront the fact that, in the US, the majority of the population appears to be for an autocratic asshat who has claimed they wouldn’t need to vote after they vote for him. The US population, as a majority, appear to want this. More people voting may not have changed anything about that.
It’s not surprising that voter turnout is now when you have an unhealthy democracy (because it is a symptom of it). This is a bit like blaming people for eating unhealthily when all that’s available to eat is unhealthy: you’re not wrong that it’s bad for them, but what the fuck are you actually doing do provide better options? So rather than blame those who didn’t vote, for any variety of reasons, get organising. Low turnout is a seed that was planted a long time ago.
Fuck no, no voting protest voters are part of the reason we have this sweeping fascist rule in our country. So no, they don’t get a boo hoo pass on that shit.
No voting protest voters are a tiny proportion of the no voters.
And in 12 months’ time, the voting system will allow just one option. Great move, guys… great move.
But how does voting protect in any way against your supreme court being stuffed with judges who clearly have no problems being completely biased and using the court as a tool for partisan politics?
It doesn’t. You’d need an opposition party that actually fights that crap. That recognises tactics to pervert instituions for what they are and acts accordingly. You’d need different “checks and balances”.
Electoralism breaks down when you don’t have a healthy democracy and public institutions. We can now all see that the USA’s institutions and constitution were not as strong as they were made to be.
Your political system is so fucked up, and yet you insist on blaming the voters.
This obsession with voting as the main form of political participation is IMHO childish and doesn’t do justice to the reality of the world.
Nope, got another 3.5 years of reminding protest-non-voters what they voted for.
You are why the Democrats feel safe to run shitty candidates.
and you are why the entire world for generations have to deal with the aftermath of another trump presidency
Blaming voters for your candidates’ failure sure is a good way to get more voters, isn’t it?
mine? mate i’m not from your country
you just don’t seem to understand basic logic: people protest voted, and yall are now inflicting trump on the world
you had 3 options: protest vote, vote D, vote R
congrats you got R… thats muuuuuuch better. i’m sure when the marines get deployed to your city you can be comforted by the fact that at least you sent the democrats a message!
how’s that going by the way? they listening? is it working? please tell me you at least achieved that! because if they haven’t listened, SHIT you got fascism AND a party that’s in every possible way “meh”
Zohran Mamdani won the NYC primary, so it sure sounds like the voters are paying attention.
Whether or not the party wants to listen is their perogative, so long as they claim to represent us they can rise or fall on the strength of their promises to us and our faith in their willingness to make good on those promises.
“Nothing will fundamentally change” sure isn’t working as well as Obama’s “hope and change”, is it?
Other way round actually.
I wish I had that much power, then I’d simply demand that the Democrats run good candidates that people would vote for.
Are you today’s explanation? Every time the Dems lose, they go to the center to find voters. If you want them to go left, you have to give them wins first. Right now every time they go left, they lose. Biden gave green energy and build back better. The reward? Lose the house. Harris was going to pretty much continue. What was the answer? Voters said no. Their left policy made the Dems lose.
Are you today’s explanation?
Are you today’s right-winger cosplaying as a lib?
Every time the Dems lose, they go to the center to find voters.
The center is to the left of where the party was 10 years ago. If the party actually acted like you suggest they are then they wouldn’t have lost to an 80’s villain twice.
If you want them to go left, you have to give them wins first.
Why would they go left if the plan to find a middle ground with Republicans was working?
Right now every time they go left, they lose.
Zohran Mamdani.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Bernie Sanders.
Every time they’ve gone left they’ve won, every time they reject the left they lose.
Hell, even that neoliberal Obama who never kept his campaign promises still at least promised us hope and change and won twice, but now the Democrats can only promise that nothing will change. I guess we can credit them with being honest?
Biden gave green energy and build back better. The reward? Lose the house. Harris was going to pretty much continue. What was the answer?
The answer is that Biden never went left. “Green energy” is a neoliberal plan to replace fossil fuel subsidies with rare earth subsidies while changing nothing about their extraction, manufacturing, or distribution processes and “Build Back Better” never passed.
A continuation of nothing is still nothing.
Nope. These people need to feel just as stupid as Trump voters in 2016 who subsequently voted for Biden after seeing the result. Given how many are still defensively showing up to post walls of text every time this is brought up, there’s a lot of work to be done to overcome the counter-messaging.
We should absolutely do what we can to primary feckless centrist Democrats, and to push the party to the left, but that’s not mutually exclusive with getting people to show up and not make the same stupid decision twice. We aren’t going to completely fix our democracy in 2 years to the point that these idiots will be satisfied. We can make headway on making things better, but people need to vote for that to happen.
So to be absolutely clear: if you did not vote, this is what you voted for. That should be upsetting, you should feel bad, and you should make damn sure that you don’t make the same mistake in 2026, 2028, or any other election as long as you live.
“christians” just do not give a fuck about kids unless they’re touching them or oppressing brown ones smfh
They care before the kid is born. And then yeah, get fucked kiddo.
They pretend to care before the kid is born. But they really just want to subjugate women and make people poorer and more ignorant so that they’re more susceptible to religious indoctrination.
Probably a blessing in disguise. If they were funding climate research it would almost certainly be fraudulent science.
They had a corps of competent people with civil service protections who were getting paid out of that budget. They avoided committing fraud during the first Trump administration
This isn’t the first Trump administration. This administration doesn’t concern itself with civil service protections.
They are trying change things, but there’s a good chance basic stuff like measuring CO2 concentrations would continue normally with a nonzero budget
Obviously a clerical error. The decimal place is off. It’s supposed to be 0.00
