Non-voters decided it wasn't worth it to them to vote against fascism.
That makes fascism very much their fault too.
the democratic party decided they wanted trump to win the primary in 2016, when do they get blamed?
I blame them all the time too. The chair of the DNC had to step down because of their corruption in Bernies primary, but the courts ruled it wasn't technically against any laws, so Hillary Clinton straight up hired her to run her campaign after that.
Its grotesque. But it doesn't change the fact that anyone who didn't vote for Harris in 2024 voted for fascism.
I'm pretty sure people who voted for Harris voted for fascism too
Nah, they voted for same old, same old. Which is blatant capitalism that drains the country slowly, and keeps POC down.
Its not the same as draining the country quickly and deporting POC to countries that uses prisoners as slaves.
Do you honestly believe that an America with the Democrats at the helm right now would look the same, or are you just trolling?
this is a strawman.i never said that.
No, you saying that her putting POC in your prisons were the same as Trump illegally deporting people to be slaves in different countries.
I know, it is still not the same. Being a little fucked or being a lot fucked is not "the same".
I never said it's the same. you are arguing with a straw man
You keep arguing for reasons to not vote against Trump to be valid. I don't care about your weak reasoning to let fascism take hold of the strongest military in the world. You had power to stop it, and chose not to. That makes you at least complicit. Nazi-adjacent.
you have no idea how I voted, but even people who did vote for Kamala didn't stop Trump from taking power, and if she had won fascism still would have won
No the people who did vote for Kamala didn't stop Trump because too many fucking losers stayed home and let fascism win.
regardless of what excuses you want to make, Kamala voters did not stop Trump
Obviously. Because 90 million eligible voters decided that it wasn't worth it to vote against the Nazis.
What exactly is the point you are trying to make?
you are blaming the wrong people for Trump's win. his voters are who is to blame, and Hilary and the Democrat establishment for elevating him in the 2016 primary.
Obviously i blame the fucking Nazis, what are you even on about. But they are brainwashed cultmembers, thats what to be expected of them.
I also obviously blame the leaders of the DNC for cheating in the primary against Bernie. Hillary had no chance against Trump, and Bernie would have obliterated the orange fucker. None of this would have happened if it wasn't for their traitorous actions in 2016.
But we are talking about 2024. We all knew the Nazis were Nazis, and we all knew the top of the DNC was corrupt and fighting to maintain the status quo.
The choice was staying still or handing the reins to the Nazis. That choice was decided not by the Nazis, who showed up to vote with about the same amount as they lost with last time.
It wasn't decided by the democratic leaderships corruption either, as Bernie didn't run in 2024.
The Republican victory was decided in 2024 by fewer democratic voters showing up to vote. Nothing more, nothing less. People might have felt justified for whatever reason to abstain, but that choice handed the largest military in the world to a bunch of billionaires fascists.
the only choices that handed trump power were votes for trump, and Hilary and the dnc making sure he got the nomination in 2016.
You're stuck on a loop, and it sounds like you've been stuck for almost 10 years now.
Time to wake up. Your lack of actions have consequences.
yea. I didn't stop the invasion of Ukraine or the 10/7 attack or stop Israel from ethnically cleansing Gaza. but I'm not responsible for the actions of others
anyone who didn't vote, didn't vote for fascism either.
They did though. There was a choice between status quo and fascism, and choosing not to choose between the two, is handing victory to fascists. Your country needed you, and you gave it to fascists.
Its pathetic.
the people responsible for electing trump are the people who voted for him. anyone who didn't... didn't.
Anyone who didn't vote against Trump elected him.
this just isn't true
her only won because people voted for him
Sometimes life has no perfect choices. Not voting was an active choice, a choice not to take action to protect the US from facism. Anyone who didn't think Trump was bad enough to vote against, doesn't get to blame others that he won. Their choice comes with responsibility, just like everyone elses choices do.
