    What’s the difference between voting for Trump and not voting at all?

    The way I see it if you didn’t vote at all then not only do you not care about the outcome but you’re accepting Trump as the result.

    If you didn’t vote then you are the problem. You’re the same problem as the people who voted for him.

    So ya if you didn’t vote then you wanted this no different then those who voted. Over 50% of the country either voted for him or accepted him as the winner.

    If you didn’t want him as president then you should have voted. You are just as much to blame for this happening. Stop trying to act like you’re innocent.

      I agree with you that an unused or third party vote is effectively a vote for Trump. I wouldn’t say those people are the same, even though the outcome is. People who voted in 2020 and didn’t this time around are probably feeling how badly they fucked up. And I hope they feel like shit.

      Meanwhile MAGA is crowing from the rooftops about the dismantling of democracy. If you’re not wealthy and you voted for Trump, you fucked up badly. Most will realize it at some point, but it’s already too late. Even the midterms are two years away, and look what’s been done in two weeks. That Constitution they claim to love more than life itself has been ripped up and thrown to the ground under fascist boots.

      The ridiculous purity genocide Joe shit hit way harder than I thought it would. Yeah I wish he hadn’t gone full bore on support for Palestinian genocide. Anyone with a conscience knows it was evil. But if you’re a leftist or progressive of any stripe, you’ve been voting for the lesser of two evils your entire adult life. What made this one different really? Every US President causes innocent people to be killed.
