    Majority of voters, the majority of the population either didn’t vote or voted for the other person.

      I’m sorry to tell you this but not voting means you are ok with any of the alternatives that were voted. So yeah, not voting meant that you considered Harris and Trump to be both ok as your president.

        Yeah the almost third of this country that isn’t even voting age definitely thinks like that.

          Most people who didn’t vote, had an opportunity to do so, but decided to not do anything. Sure, there is an amazing number of people who’s vote was suppressed, but there is a bigger number of people who decided that both parties are the same, or decided that they can’t be fucked to register, or who didn’t have stamps at home so they decided to abandon the democracy, and so on and so forth. All of that was a conscious choice, and the choice was Trump, and all the consequences of it.

          Yeah, poor you, right? Sorry, I’m not sure I can care about you when thanks to your elections, a good portion of the world is bracing for an economic and climatic disaster that your president, the one you americans elected, is imposing to the whole world (that couldn’t vote in your elections but kept telling you how bad of an idea was to pick him).

          this shitty fucking myth that all americans are okay with what is happening needs to die.

          Yeah sure man. We’ll have to take that on faith I suppose. After all, none of use were likely alive during past incidents when Americans utterly failed to do the right thing until it was absolutely necessary and directly threatened them. It’s a source of constant solace to the rest of the world, which is, of course, why we’re selling off your treasury bonds.
