If you don't like trump and you didn't vote, then you're to blame.
My country has compulsory voting so nobody has an excuse
If my country had compulsory voting and my choices were trump and harris I would have voted for mickey mouse. Or do they send somebody in with you to vote for an approved candidate? Because that doesn't sound like anyplace I'd be interested in living
Where are you from? How it works where I'm from, is that you're required to go vote. What you fill out on the paper is no one's business.
Just put in a blank paper. Turn up because it's your duty by being a citizen. We live in a society, not as individuals. People who want to live in isolation and not affect anyone else are welcome to fuck off to the middle of the ocean for all I care.
Compulsory voting retains majority of Australians' support, because it makes voter suppression incredibly difficult.
It's SOOOO easy to vote here it's not even funny. We can partially thank compulsory voting for keeping it that way.
If they tried to make voting harder, everyone would be pissed off, since they're required to vote. Good luck getting such a reform to stick...
Unlike in some certain countries where apparently you're not allowed to give water out to voters in certain states.
Wild. Dumb. Much freedom to not vote 👌
Compulsory voting is great. We love it (well, most of us think it's a good thing. I love it, personally)
A stunning example of exactly the kind of performative pro-genocide bullshit that put us in this mess. Wonderful.
You're taking to a foreigner, the election's long over, and you never helped the Democrat's cause with your edge-lord ass comments.
Not

No, the Republicans putting up a shitty, awful, terrible candidate that was somehow more likeable than the Democrat's shitty, awful, terrible candidate, who came in on the coattails of another shitty, awful, terrible candidate was what put us into this mess.
I'll never accept the claim that Trump was more likable than anyone; no matter how many Take That critiques people can sling about anyone on the Democratic party.
I don't think he was more likeable, but enough people did that they voted him into office. It doesn't really matter whether you accept that or not.
I didn't vote, and it doesn't matter that I didn't vote.
There are mass counties that had 0 Harris Votes and all DT. This is a statistical impossibility. On top of the already impossible results we've seen with the election anomaly all point together at obvious voting fraud. The election didn't happen as you think it happened, it happened because billionaires conspired together to put a lunatic at the helm.
Hope you're enjoying the current democratic backsliding the USA is experiencing. It's partially your fault for letting it happen.
Is you didn't vote for Harris, you're to blame.
No, it's the Republicans who are to blame. The Democratic leadership is to blame for not putting up a candidate or policies that the voters wanted.
It's always amazing to me that people will blame the people who couldn't stomach to vote for the Democrats, rather than getting mad at the Democratic leadership for being so awful that people can't stomach to vote for them.
Yeah I agree. I see a lot of folks out here victim blaming rather than critiquing the folks with the most power.
