    PSL votes accounted for 0.11% of the vote. 171,000 people electionwide. Across the entire nation.

    I get people are angry and want something smaller than them to attack, but the PSL and Uncommitted primary voters just didn’t swing the election by a longshot.

    Like if the entire country’s PSL voting bloc had moved to Michigan in 2024 they could have swung the election for Harris and got 15 electoral college votes. Which would again lose 2024 to Trump, just at 297-241 instead of 312-226. Because the electoral college completely ratfucks our presidential election process.

      Don’t care.

      Him riding on his high horse is what pissed me off. Fuck third party voters, fuck non-voters, fuck pedo voters.

      You’re trying to make an excuse after the fact for people who made a very stupid decision not knowing if their very stupid decision was going to be the deciding factor.

      The fact that it didn’t end up mattering does not absolve them. It could very well matter next time they choose to make an incredibly stupid decision.
