    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.

      88 million didn’t vote at all

      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”.

        There’s also the retraction of mail-in voting from 2020. That may actually be the major difference between 2020 and 2024

          Here’s the thing though, the genocide was bipartisan. Voting literally didn’t affect it. Also this hold hold your nose strategy doesn’t seem like it actually works. Just straight up does not win elections and shame and voters isn’t working. You should change up your tactics on the off chance we ever have elections again

            Liberals don’t want to hear it. They refuse to believe their side was involved in the bloodshed.

            They’ll heckle you and downvote and call you a Russian bot for speaking any kind of truth on the Dems’ enthusiastic participation in the Holocaust.

            It’s like trying to talk to a Catholic about the Nazis or the priest sex scandal. They will not listen.

                No, it’s just that many people understandably have mass murdering millions of civilians as a red line. Like, if that’s not a dealbreaker in a candidate, what is?

                Which 3rd party voter said that Trump would be better? I don’t think I’ve ever seen them say that.

                I’ve only heard liberals who apparently are in support of genocide say that.

                  This election was not a “protest” vote election. This was a vote dem or get fascist who cannot give a single fuck about gaza…

            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.
