This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

The right: these extremists decide elections so we’ll make it our whole platform again

The left: these extremists decide elections so we’ll blame them again

Who’s blaming? I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.

They unironically believe this would have all played out identically under Kamala.

Nobody thinks that.

Some of them think that it would have eventually reached this point anyway, if not under this republican administration, then the next one. And there’s a good case for that.

Others think you can’t sign on to far worse atrocities that just happen to be perpetrated elsewhere in the world, no matter what, because you are then personally complicit. Also a valid viewpoint.

The performative cruelty that this administration is practicing is genuinely a new low, it’s true. But the burden of doing something about it was and is on people with institutional power, not random ordinary people. The democrats could easily have won the election and they chose not to, and after the trump team, they are the ones to blame next.

The people that voted for Trump are first to blame. People that didn’t vote are second. It’s that simple. There are reasons why a person may have decided not to vote, but none of them change that fact that not voting was effectively a vote for Trump. I view non voters a small step above Trump voters. They at least have the same level of intelligence and critical thinking skills as one another.

Just so you know, you’re replying to .ml there. I mean, I agree, but reasoned discussion isn’t going to win out with the leftist leftists that ever lefted.
