    Agreed. It’s 100% the voters (or absent voters) fault. They knew what they would get if Trump won(generations of damage) and they let it happen. Harris should have been voted in to triage the situation, then protest her while she is in office to bring change.

      The problem is, that this is what basically happened for as long as I can remember. People vote for a democrat, they don’t really succeed in bringing substential improvements because they have to keep the billionaires happy, and at some point people vote republican again, which then proceed to fuck up everything even harder.

      It’s a downward spiral, and in my opinion the only way of breaking out of it is to break it. So either the democrats choose somebody that is likely to improve the quality of life for the broad population, or the republicans win again and break the country completely.

      Enabling this spiral by voting for the “lesser evil” will just lead to it going on forever.

        The protesting left is willing to let the poor and the minorities suffer damage that will take a lifetime to reverse because they are too fucking lazy to vote in change and hold their reps accountable(by voting in replacements…not sitting on thumbs). Fuck the left protest vote. Complicit fuckers.

          What you’re implying is, that because the left has the choice between

          • we cut the poor and minorities leg off, and maybe in 4 years people will see how bad it was and will vote more progressive
          • we cut one of the poor and minorities finger off, and then in 4 years we’ll choose again, but probably it’ll be between a leg and a finger again.

          And chooses the option where improvement can happen instead of feeding into the vicious cycle of the lesser evil, it’s the left that is to fault for fascists coming into power? You’re delusional.

          There’s a reason why center parties are called the stepping-stone of fascism. You’d really do yourself a big favor by reflecting your views.

            Why wait 4 years? This is your mind set and is why you are ok with Harris not being elected. Reps can be held accountable all the time, not just every 4 years.

              Because usually presidents in the USA are elected every 4 years?

              But yeah, hold him accountable! As non-american I am just watching y’all anyways.
