31.78 .......allegedly.

that number is probably vastly inflated by at least 3% to 5% by elon.

The election was stolen with Russian and Muskys help.

Don't enable the abusers narrative.

And this is first across the finish line politics. Want change? Endorse pluralist elections.

Man if only there was some huge portion of left wing constituents demanding change over a tax funded genocide that the democratic party could have easily pandered to and gotten that extra 1% boost of votes.

But like such a group would be too small to make a difference amirite.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ah yes, Palestine abstainers, too small to make a difference (so you can't blame them for ushering in fascism and several additional genocides!) but also large enough that if Dems had just Tried This One Simple Trick, they would have gained net millions of votes and won the election.

So many didn't vote. Can they vote to a single third party so we don't have to deal with this two party system please.

~70% of the US adults either wanted trump or at least OK with him, and by extension are ok with the muskrat

Maybe it's time for the rest of the world to realize it's not "just trump" but the USA as a whole is very racist, stupid and backwards country.

Maybe the pushback against trump we see all around social media is just the small loud minority.

Maybe it's time to not consider Americans friends, and to stop supporting it as much as possible. I've started cutting off the american-made stuff I buy.

I think so too. They are not big, just loud.

Fucking wrong. Every asshole who abstained from voting, voted for Trump. He received 60%. At the very least, that 30% didnt vote for someone else.

If you people want me to vote for your candidate, make sure they aren't just the "lesser evil."

Try doing something different next time if you want different results. Don't repeat the same mistakes.

Blame everyone who voted for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary for why we now have 2 trump presidencies. They're out of touch.

You have to vote according to how the electoral system actually works, not how you wish it worked. Unless you - yes, you - are personally prepared to fund and organise a revolution to change that system then you vote against the actual fascist.

I can tell you're going to go through whatever mental gymnastics are necessary to convince yourself that voting for the lesser evil is somehow a win.

Sorry you've been conditioned to dedicate so much energy working against your own interests. If more of you diverted that energy to the people supporting our oppressors, we wouldn't need to be having this discussion.

My friend, the only one performing mental gymnastics right now is you trying to convince yourself that what you have achieved by refusing to vote against a fascist is a win.

Sorry you’ve been conditioned to dedicate so much energy working against your own interests. If more of you diverted that energy to the people supporting our oppressors, we wouldn’t need to be having this discussion.

Assuming you're an American, by refusing to vote against fascism I'm pretty sure you won't be having any free discussions in a year or so lest you be carted off by the local stasi.

How? Either way I lose.

If I voted for harris and harris won, I still lost. If I voted for harris and trump won, I still lost. if I voted for trump and trump won, I still lost.

You're naive enough to believe that harris winning is the same as you winning, and that's just proving my point. You've been conditioned to think that a slow loss is the same as a win.

Yeah, you're too far gone to be taken seriously. Your reply is just an automated response you feel compelled to make to fit in with other people who are also too far gone.

Gonna block you now. Good luck in life.

Because when you vote against a fascist you're considering wider society, not just your self.

If I voted for harris and harris won, I still lost. If I voted for harris and trump won, I still lost. if I voted for trump and trump won, I still lost.

The correct statement is 'if Harris gets in, I lost. If Trump gets in everyone loses. Its about more than just you.

I'm not American. What I am though is able to see that fascism is worse than conservatism. The fact that conservatism is still bad is irrelevant when the only other choice is an actual fascist because the fascist will probably remove your power to vote in the future.

Gonna block you now. Good luck in life.

Yeah, some truths are too uncomfortable to be lived with aren't they?

I get the frustration but this is a bad take.

In a two-party, first-past-the-post system you kinda have an ethical obligation to vote for the lesser evil. It's just a statistical fact you can't ignore.

It fucking blows, but if your choices are the shitty status quo or full blown fascism, you really should pick the status quo.

Obviously doesn't fix the problem with the Democrat party sliding further and further right since they can continue to claim "lesser evil"... and it also doesn't fix the DNC superdelegate shenanigans that got us Hillary instead of Bernie... but I'd rather the country be able to still exist to fight another day.

Naaaah. I’m going to go ahead and blame the people who arrogantly chose to feed their entitlement and not vote.
