Donald Trump won, and I never want to hear the words 'America is better than this' again. I never want to be told about America's better angels.
You're viewing a single thread.
Even the far left is stupid in America. They're supposed to be the educated ones. But instead of doing their civic duty, they stayed home. And you can blame it on Democrats all you like, but it's your duty to go vote, no matter who you vote for. The turnout this election was pathetic.
I don't understand how these people are going to complain now for the next 4 years, when they didn't even want to take part.
She got 14 millions less votes than Biden.I doubt there are even 10 million far leftists in the USA.
It is absolutely fucking infuriating how many people disagree with your assessment here but you are absolutely 100% right as fuck.
I expected him to win, but i did not expect such a sad turnout.
Ok this line of thinking is pissing me off.
As of this right now the turn out is 140,144,378 and counting (it will be weeks before the final number).
If we look at the last 90 or so years we can see that this "sad turnout" is the second highest only behind 2020s 158,481,688.
But instead of doing their civic duty, they stayed home
Do you have anything to back this up, or is this typical Democrat blaming people they never tried to appeal to?
Abysmal voter turnout
You mean the abysmal (checks notes) second highest turn out since 1932? The turnout whose numbers are still as of right now being counted? That turnout?
2020 is not the fucking baseline, this was above average, great even. 2020 was the highest turnout since Reconstruction you can't rely on that to stick
Gaza is to Harris what Drone Strikes were to Hillary in 2016.
Right on the money.
Democrats didnt want people voting. This was the year of fighting against ballot access. They directly disenfranchised so many people.
That's bullshit. Dems win when turnout is larger. Turnout was significantly below 2020.
Dems have learned to never nominate a woman again, because this country is so fucking sexist.
Exactly, why else would GOP work so hard to purge voter lists of people with foreign sounding names a week before the election.
1 person requested reviews of 100,000 voters via an automated tool the GOP made available
Yeah, Dems are going to fight against spoilers propped up by the GOP.
You're an idiot to think they were anything aside from that.
As for Cornell West, https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/cornel-west-donation-harlan-crow-1234857237/
Fuck do you mean spoilers, they are running for election, democrats are spoilers for them.
Oh, my sweet summer child.
Read a book.
Yeah turn on each other immediately. That will give you hope for next time.
What next time?
Good chance there isn't going to be a next time, dude. It's hard not sounding hyperbolic when saying things like "its the end of the world" but the next four years were CRITICAL to climate change, and we've voted to pour even more gas all over it. We don't even have violent resistance to fall back on. The 'progressives' who stayed home this election because they couldnt hold their nose and vote for harris? Have damned us all. They're just as much to blame for whats about to happen as the pathetic campaign harris was running.
It doesn't matter if we're fracturing the left. There was never any unity there in the first place.
The ‘progressives’ who stayed home this election because they couldnt hold their nose and vote for harris? Have damned us all.
I think it was the Trump voters that did that, actually.
It is all of the electorates fault, and exclusively the electorates fault
And the electorate (well, active electorate) is majority Trump voters
The opinion of a shit starter and flame fanner is not needed.
14 million
