    86 million people did not vote, so they were ok with him too. you can’t just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence.

      given that it’s america, some portion of those couldn’t vote because they couldn’t get time off work, were purged from voter rolls, etc

      i wouldn’t say most, but some

        I agree one-day elections on a Tuesday where we don’t even get off work is stupid and should change. But there are more options for voting early/by mail.

      Or they don’t live in a swing state…

      How much did you donate to the Harris campaign? How much time did you spend volunteering for it. You can’t just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence, after all.

        I can actually, since I’m not eligible to vote in the US. even if i were and didn’t, that’s not even in the same universe as not voting.

          So you didn’t donate? You didn’t knock on doors? You can’t just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence!

              Ok? So? Why didn’t you donate anyway. Why didn’t you fly to the US and help with the campaign? You can’t just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence!

          Wow, so you didn’t think stopping fascism justified more than just voting in a non-swing state?
