    He literally warned you he was going to do this. He warned you in the debate with Kamala, on national television. Did people not believe him?

    Where are all those “Genocide Joe and Kamala” people now, hmm? Just disappeared back into the woodwork?

      Genocide Joe, Genocide Trump, Genocide Kamala. Happy? I’m not…

      The election is over, those people are hopefully busy working to pass state level electoral reform in our respective states so we no longer are hostage to the democratic party.

      Videos on Electoral Reform

      First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)

      Videos on alternative electoral systems we can try out.

      STAR voting

      Alternative vote

      Ranked Choice voting

      Range Voting

      Single Transferable Vote

      Mixed Member Proportional representation

      I’m all in on this idea, I casted my last damage control vote last election. If we get electoral reform passed I’ll rank the democratic choice 2nd to last place on my ballot. Do you want my 2nd to last choice preference counted for the democrats if my other preferences didn’t win? If so, you best be scrambling to implement this reform in your state.

      Or are you only interested in forcing people to vote for your preference and pretending thats democracy??

        As a country we were given the choice between letting one house burn vs letting the entire city burn, and instead of making a helpful choice a group of people decided to protest fire, and yet more decided to just sit at home while the world burned around them.

        They knew what the choices were. Trump flat out said he didn’t care about the constitution, didn’t care about human life, and didn’t care about democracy.

        Electoral reform isn’t even part of this discussion. It’s like wishing the fire didn’t start in the first place.

        Sorry if I’m coming on heated, but the idiots who run around screaming about how both sides are the same are an active part of the problem.

        Dream big, work towards that dream, but until that dream comes true you still live in a reality where the best choice you can make is “the lesser evil.”

          They just drinking some of the residual koolaid that team Trump was pouring into social media to convince left leaning voters, who were never going to vote for him, to throw their votes away.

          It’s the same tactic they used in 2016 to target black people. They simply put out a lot of fake posts from fake “black people” creating the illusion of a movement of people who refused to vote for Hillary.

          The Great Hack is a documentary that covers the Cambridge Analytica scandal and shows them talking about using this exact same tactic in other elections. The former employee said it was like injecting poison into the veins of social media.

          The person you’re responding to probably doesn’t even realize that they’re still regurgitating the same nonsense because they think they’re living in a world full of other people who agree with them. But that world is artificial and was created to manipulate them.

        America has two parties. So second to last is your first vote?

      Blaming the voters is a braindead take, Dems are supposed to win votes, they aren’t owed votes.

      Biden and Kamala are genocidal monsters, and many Dems rightfully demanded better of their “representatives.” Many of these voters still voted for Kamala, even if it made them sick, because of how plainly tyrannical the Trump regime is.

      And guess what? Dems still lost because they are so beholden to the rich that they offered nothing to the working class. That’s a shit strategy for winning an election, and it showed with their stunning and pathetic defeat.

        Jesus. If you helped get Trump elected, either as a non-voter or voter, you bear responsibility for the current presidency. If you need a national political organization to tell you what’s right and wrong, you’re part of the problem.

        Edit: you’re

        I mean no it isn’t bit blaming the voters is stupid. You voted for this of just said ehh I don’t care. The people allowed this not the Democrats not the republicans the people. You live in a democracy and people couldn’t even vote. I mean Americans are lazy maybe they just do want a king so they don’t have to get out and vite every two years. Can you imagine how many McDonalds cheeseburgers you could eat in that time.

        I think the “offered nothing to the working class” part was a much bigger factor than the “genocidal monsters” part in the Democrats’ loss, but otherwise, I agree.

        Well. Blaming the non-voters is a brain-dead take. Blaming the voters, specifically those that voted Republican, is pretty sensible.
