Yes, their platform was weak. But you seriously thought a fascist dictatorship was an acceptable alternative?

I won't vote for who supports genocide. Trump may not be better in this regard but at least I won't reward to those who already aided in it. Next time they should learn to do better.
You are complicit. You're not above this.
Cool and we get genocide 2.0 instead
In what way? Israel already has a free check and a shield to do whatever they want.
Trump has promised, in VERY few uncertain terms, to deliver a genocide here in the US. Mass deportations of immigrants were one of his big "to-dos" on day one, including deputizing National Guard and police units to assist ICE. This is combined with an AG hopeful who wants to "see Democrat politican's bodies dragged through the streets", and Steve Bannon, who helped author a document that basically plans to outlaw homosexuality, being transgender, and (probably) conversion camps, if not outright death camps. You can look all this up, it's all been well reported on.
This is on top of Trump being close friends with Netanyahu, so congrats - by not voting, you voted for two genocides.
There won't be a next time. Congratulations, shit stain. You get to pay yourself on the back for your "morals" while the country burns to the ground.
I say "morals" because fucking obviously the moral thing to do is prevent Nazi Germany 2.0 from happening. But no. You get to pretend like you're a good person. But you're not. You let fascists take control and countless people will die at the hand of non-voters like you. You and everyone like you are deplorable in every sense of the word and you have no right to claim moral superiority.
Sure, blame the voters for the lack of choice they were given. That seems very productive and totally not just an excuse so you don't have to admit that the Democrats are responsible for enabling genocide.
Two people can both be 100% to blame for something.
I have much respect for drag and don't disagree with that point in general, but in this particular case I must protest.
Democracy is a process for legitimizing a government. The voters cannot fail at voting, they can only be failed by elected parties that don't faithfully represent their interests once in power. The responsibility is entirely incumbent on the parties themselves, as they get to pick how they manipulate public sentiment into supporting them and the voters have no agency in the decisions those parties make.
Drag thinks the voters can fail at voting. Drag could visit the Proud Boys annual general meeting and propose that drag should be the leader of the Proud Boys. Drag could present a 17-point plan to reduce misogyny and queerphobia in the organisation, support mutual aid structures in the community, improve members' access to mental health services, and everyone there would rather shoot drag dead than vote for drag. Why? Because proud boys are neo-nazis, and they want to be lead by nazis.
American has decided that it wants to be lead by nazis too. This wouldn't have happened if everyone in the USA was an informed, highly educated, intelligent person of empathy. Drag was excited about not electing a fascist to the white house. America wasn't, because America isn't that well-informed, intelligent or empathetic. Harris should have recognised that Americans are fascism-apologists who need more motivation than she gave them to vote. AND Americans shouldn't have been fascism-apologists who need more motivation to vote. Either group could have solved the problem if they were better. We got a fascist dictator because they both suck.
Nazi Germany 2.0 is already happening. Palestinians are being genocided as we speak. But it seems their blood is too cheap for you to care.
You're so delusional anyways about your 2.0 world. Don't blame me, blame the democrats for supporting and committing genocide. Maybe do something about that first?
I voted, so keep assuming.
This is how I feel, thank you for putting it eloquently. These "moral high ground" people are no better than the MAGA they enabled. It's sickening.
Well, the really morally superior thing would be to vote for Jill Stein (or another anti-genocide candidate). Sitting out the election is abdicating responsibility.
Jill Stein is pro-genocide. She's a liar who supports the opposite of all of her proposed policies. She was only in the election to hurt Harris and help Trump. Now that Trump's won, she's going to disappear for the next 4 years and do nothing to accomplish her supposed goals.
