Even the far left is stupid in America. They’re supposed to be the educated ones. But instead of doing their civic duty, they stayed home. And you can blame it on Democrats all you like, but it’s your duty to go vote, no matter who you vote for. The turnout this election was pathetic.

I don’t understand how these people are going to complain now for the next 4 years, when they didn’t even want to take part.

Yeah turn on each other immediately. That will give you hope for next time.
Good chance there isn’t going to be a next time, dude. It’s hard trying to not sound hyperbolic when saying things like “its the end of the world” but the next four years were CRITICAL to climate change, and we’ve voted to pour even more gas on it. We don’t even have violent resistance to fall back on. The ‘progressives’ who stayed home this election because they couldnt hold their nose and vote for harris have damned us all, and they’re are just as much to blame as the pathetic campaign harris was running.

The ‘progressives’ who stayed home this election because they couldnt hold their nose and vote for harris? Have damned us all.

I think it was the Trump voters that did that, actually.

It is all of the electorates fault, and exclusively the electorates fault
And the electorate (well, active electorate) is majority Trump voters
Abstaining is an active political choice. Every adult in America is the electorate
Ahah you voted for a genocider and now you’re whining? Cheh. You are a shit person lmao. I hope you get drafted and sent to the middle east.
I have good news! I’ll end up in a conversion camp because yall decided the lives of illiberal islamist fucks halfway across the world were more important than mine. Guess I’ll get exactly what I deserve for… checks notes not wanting to be genocided

Why are you better than my friends in lebannon, you scum? What you think being trans makes you a better human? I dont wish you to get thrown in a conversion camp. That is too easy.

I hope some foreign power come and bombs your city with white phosphorus. I wish you to know the fear of having somebody you love disfigured because of napalm. I’m sure conversion camp doesn’t sounds so bad now, does it. You ivory tower yankee fuck. Nobody cares about your pp. You’re a fucking fascist and a coward who would throw your sister and brother under the bus just so you don’t have to fight against fascism. You dont wish to fight against fascism, you just want to externalize it. And you pretend you are for LGBT rights? Fuck off.

As a good yank, you only care about your own ass. You are trash.

And I suppose allowing the guy wholl put boots on the ground to make sure your friends and family die off faster to ascend to the Oval Office was the right call? Because that is literally every other option
