Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing imagesPercentages may be more digestable, but it really makes me curious about the total vote counts of each category now:P
I am curious how many of those 36% that didn't vote wanted to but couldn't due to gerrymandering and other bullshit.
Well they’d still be able to vote in a gerrymandered district, but as far as voter suppression, it was at an all time high, in terms of ratfucking attempts, but it’s still small compared to the overall population of non-voters.
Among those eligible to vote who say they did not cast a ballot, 42% say they wish they had voted while 57% say they do not.
So. Don’t give a damn til their shit blows up in real time.
There were lawsuits happening for years around all that. The r's won a ton of those lawsuits.
If you didn't vote then you voted for the bad guy.
If you didn't vote you are just as bad as the MAGAniacs.
If you didn't vote you voted for Trump.
If you didn't vote you are responsible for the current situation.
Cannot disagree more and this kind of rhetoric is not likely to sway non voters.
i voted (harris obv) but they apparently had issues with my vote and didnt count it until literally after trump won :)
Also would go further into pointing out... of those 31.74% that did vote for it... it's not a mandate for things that he didn't run on... or even ran against.
Say trump took a shit ton of credit for promising to never cut social security and medicaid. When his mind changes from what he promised, the "mandate" arguement is even worse.
In a hypothetical world where lets say someone did run, promised a lot of things, and won with 98% of the vote, so that we could say they have a mandate. The mandate still only would apply to the things they actually claimed they were going to do on the campaign trail. If they are doing the opposite of what they promised the mandate is completely bullshit even in that scenerio.
Also! They literally let someone hand out 250 million dollars, openly, and our “courts” gave it the go-ahead - even if it goes against some of the longest standing legal precedent regarding buying votes (done with booze back in the day).
This election wasn’t a thumb on the scale, it was the oligarchs mushroom-stamping humanity.
Also, these oligarchs don't realize that they're going to be robbed just like the rest of us when the time comes. If they don't do exactly what trump and putin want, they'll either fall out of window or have to spend the rest of their lives hiding. These will be remembered as the good ol' days.

"69.16% of Americans are okay with fascism" isn't really a resounding defense of the health of American democracy in the face of fascism, though.
More people didn't vote at all than let this demented rapist burn everything down.
Fucking idiots.
I voted for Harris. But let's be honest. There were two choices on the ballot in 2016, 2020, and 2024:
- Fascism
- Slightly delayed fascism.
I’m glad you voted, but i don’t agree those were the two options.
I think it was a functioning government implementing more progressive policies vs. absolute shit-spewing catastrophic chaos.
And as that has already been borne out in the first, what, thirty seconds? Those people who refused to prevent it can get fucked.
This is democracy manifest!
Hands off my penush!
