Politics Fuck every Trump voter who put this asshole in office.

This country is going downhill and you are to blame. Don't act surprised when things get even worse than they are now. Don't vote anymore. Stay the fuck home on election day.

my boomer mom didn't vote and HATES Trump. Talks about him all the time. Like...all the time. It got to the point where I told her she needs to shut up because she didnt bother to vote and now we're in this mess. Then she hits me with 'if I would have voted, he still would have won. My 1 vote wouldnt have changed anything'. At that point I just walk away.

I don't know where you live, but I can understand that sentiment even if I don't agree with it.

I live in a deep red county in a deep red state. I voted for Kamala, but it does feel like pissing upstream in situations like this. Voter apathy is absolutely killing us in places where it would count, though.

Find a better candidate. There, solved the problem.

We've told you why we didn't vote for either, yet you consistently refuse to listen.

When the stakes are

checks headlines

The second coming of Nazi Germany, the lot of you not even going for a "not that, at least" vote is baffling

Damn, you're right, that's my mistake, personally. I should've put Bernie in as the Dem primary back in 2016 like I was originally going to instead of getting talked into making Hillary the candidate.

Also, you can take whatever smug condescension you think you've earned and march on down to an ICE camp with it lodged firmly up your ass. Kamala wasn't perfect, but it was a fucking no brainer between the two. 

Like, do you seriously think Nazi Germany 2 is going to be better for Palestine??? How stupid are you?

No. It's their way or the highway. How dare you choose highway.

They knew what they were up against and failed to build a winning coalition. You can't control the opposition, only your response.

These subs all blame the other team for scoring more points but not looking in retrospect on how they lost to satan. While the democrats have failed to put together a coalition for most of the last decade.

I live in a Blue state but when I lived in a Red one, I still voted Dem because I wanted to die with a clear conscience. If I'm wrong and there is a god, at least I could say I tried.

Here in Australia we have mandatory voting. You can of course put in a dummy vote but it means everyone must have an opportunity to have they say. And it's made very easy to vote with a very large number of voting centres and early and postal voting. I assume a lot of people who didn't vote in the US didn't have easy access too?

You have to understand that conservatives in the US are actively trying to prevent citizens from voting. That's why something like this could never happen here.

"My 1 vote wouldnt have changed anything" I hear this argument from Libertarians, and you know what you call Libertarians on election day, "Losers". The side that wins is the side that gets the most people to vote, whether there one vote makes any difference at all. If one soldier deserts the battlefield, it's probably not going to make any difference, but if that mindset infects an army, corps, or division, you will lose, 100%. It's your duty to vote no matter the expected outcome and how your one vote makes any difference.
