Trump’s cornerstone campaign promise… Millions of you let him win by not voting or voting third party. Don’t blame Trump for this. For once he wasn’t lying. Ooh and he has Congress to back him up, too! Checks and balances? Nope.
You can fight back by yelling on the internet or maybe a little protest march (until that’s disallowed). But for fuck’s sake don’t vote until the electoral college is gone and Gaza is free and you have the perfect candidate!
My fellow Americans, if you sat out the election because Harris didn’t excite you enough or she wasn’t perfect, what’s coming from Trump is on you.
And if you voted for Jill Stein because you don’t understand how foreign aid is established (it’s via Congress) or you believed the hype of “genocide” or that Republicans weren’t worth your protests, what’s coming to Gaza is on you.
If Bernie had been president back in 2016, his terms would be over by now. But he wasn’t president. And he isn’t. now. Why the fuck are you people still rubbing one out over him? Trump won for a long list of reasons. The biggest: millions of Trump haters didn’t bother to vote, or they got duped into voting third party even in light of what a Trump win would bring to this nation.
Move on, move forward.
What is Trump’s stated opinion on Israel and its war in Gaza? What is Trump’s stated opinion -and first term actions- on Muslims? Seriously, the Biden & Harris = “genocide” horseshit was 100% designed to disenfranchise Democrats. Congress votes on foreign aid. Congress is largely Republican. Protesters NEVER went after Republicans.
So left wing Democrats responded by sitting on their hands instead of voting, knowingly allowing the country to slide into whatever authoritarian hellhole that awaits us? Now that’s the definition of pettiness.
If the results are close, they’ll try their voter fraud shtick to whittle away the difference. Voter turnout is going to decide this election. The bigger the difference, the less they can do about it. The margin of shenanigans needs to be wide.
Are these other ways just as constructive as pissing their vote away…?
Ignore the polls and vote. Just freaking vote.
That’s why we ALL need to vote. No excuses, just do your minimum civic duty and vote, if only to cover the margin of shenanigans that the GOP is counting on to cause trouble.
And even more women need to vote, particularly young women. And hey, young men who have an interest in human rights should vote too. In droves.
Mitch, please…. McConnell is a spineless POS who puts his party before his country. It doesn’t matter what he says about Trump when he spent four years licking Trump’s balls.
Remember to vote third party or not at all to teach us all a lesson…. s/
It’s mind boggling how hateful and utterly stoopid Trump and MAGA are, and yet half the country seems just fine with allowing us to slide full bore into authoritarianism.
If you don’t want this to happen, you need to vote. You need to get your friends to vote. There’s no excuse not to vote, none.
Everyone needs to vote to cover “the margin of shenanigans” that undoubtedly will arise in swing states and to ensure a popular vote so high that a certain crybully will cry harder.
Is the DNC so bad that millions of individuals sat on their hands and allowed a wannabe despot get control of the country (and Congress)? Nah. DNC ain’t perfect, but the non-voters and third party voters are fucking petty dipshits who absolutely have a hand in whatever comes out of the MAGAverse.
