    50+% America, you’ll get what you wanted. Also those who didn’t vote will get what they deserve.

      Since only somewhere around 65% of people voted and Trump got almost half the votes that means approximately 2/3rds of Americans are at least okay with having Trump as president and fascists in power.

        Not everyone that didn’t vote supports this. Some people just couldn’t get the day off because they’re living day by day and couldn’t take a day off to wait in line for 5 hours at the one polling place in their city.

          Lol. How brave /s

          Show your true colors y’all! Finally, you can stop pretending you truly care about struggling Americans that don’t share the same values as you - coincidentally, exactly like your slightly more racist/white-supremacist neighbors

          Hopefully we can at least admit rural folks are absolutely correct in feeling like we hate them. I mean, that still won’t win us any elections but it’s a step in the right direction - one towards a more honest party

        Understanding that people regularly vote against their own interest and then gleefully celebrate them doing so… You are also sounding real fucking evil bud.

          I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’m trying to do the exact opposite of celebrating anyone’s misfortune. That’s kinda gross, to me

          I know people that can’t even vote that are likely going to have to seriously consider what states they visit or worse. It’s wild that people that supposedly voted against it now support it because they want to feel good about themselves. Classic American shit, tbh

      You assume those who didn’t vote, would vote for Harris. An unfounded assumption

        Inaction makes you complicit. Not voting does not give you any moral high ground, especially when one of the people being voted for is a fascist. These people would rather let fascism run free and wait for a golden unicorn instead of making slow and steady progress with imperfect candidates.

        I’m sorry, but if I completely skip evaluating Harris to make this easier… I would vote for a box of pizza before tRump.

        10 million less votes for Democrats and only 5000000 more votes for trump since last election. Yes I assume a large portion would have.

          In states where they don’t matter by in large. It’s a weird complaint to be honest, of people didn’t vote they either had a reason or weren’t engaged and that isn’t exactly their fault.
