    2024 was the second highest turnout of any election on record. This isn’t the fault of non voters.

    Democrats should have been begging voters to turn out, offering to give them anything they wanted to avoid Trump. Instead they actively refused the one thing voters were demanding while using trump almost like a threat

    I’m so tired of this ‘democrats can’t fail, only be failed’ apologia from liberals. As things continue getting worse it will only become harder for democrats to win anything, especially if they continue refusing what voters are asking for while blaming them for the fascism dems are collaborating with.

    Better get your boots laced because sitting on your ass and whining about non-voters won’t protect you, we’re all in this shit now because democrats couldn’t get themselves to challenge Israel’s genocide

      The Democratic Party doesn’t give a fuck about America turning into a fascist nightmare. Never have, never will. Most of them would be happy to play puppet opposition if it meant that the checks would keep coming.

        Try convincing someone like rhoeri of that.

        They’d rather deflate the popular anti-wealth momentum within their own party just so they can deflect attention away from inequality, and thats why they’ll continue losing. You and I know that, but people like the above will continue placing blame on voters who are increasingly frustrated instead.

        That’s how libs end up collaborating with fascism - they’re too invested in the existing and failing capital structure

          There’s none so deaf as those who are really deaf

          I don’t know if it’s a legacy of organized religion or a devolution into tribalism, but they seem to see “vote blue no matter what” as the biggest part of their identity.

              No, it’s like a voter blaming ninety million non-voters for not voting for a man who told them this would all happen.

              Let’s not resort to analogies here. It is exactly what it is.

                To reiterate, I voted, people voted for trump too you know. If we had a perfect election system to begin with there would not be a non voting demographic, now as much as i would too like to live in that reality, that isnt this one. If im going to somehow find more contempt to millions of americans rather than the few up top, right now, I’d be a sad sack of shit.

                I made it already. It was that big long rant that started this conversion, do I need to copy and paste it for you?

              Okay whats up with your lil stealth edits?

              This is why i dont argue with these people

              Do you have any principals? Because with mine i choose to stand by the people I suffer with, maybe you’re not american which explains your inflamatory rhetoric around this. So youre telling me i should be more upset with the millions of people who didnt vote, still record turnout i might add, and not my trump loving neighbors who have been harassing my family for years?? Thats stupid, you can admit it.
