There sure are a lot of people that didn’t do jack shit and think they have a place to blame anyone.

Canadian, voted for left wing party that had the best chance of winning despite the leader being a gilded spoon brat who couldn't lead his way out of a wet paper bag.

I did my fucking part. All you wannabe progressives in the US had to do was vote to keep the Nazi out of office and you couldn't even do that.

American. Voted for Harris. I think you responded to the wrong person.

That was in general to the people who "held back their vote" to "teach the Democrats a lesson". The kind of people who don't realize that the luxuries the west has were hard fought and think they will always be there.

Then you weren't continuing the conversation and was grandstanding to the choir to feel better.

They were continuing the conversational thread about the people who didn't do shit

Most of us in here voted. And it didn't change the millions that didn't.

They are preaching and yelling at the choir. It didn't continue the conversation even the person responding to was confused.

And what has the liberal party done with your vote? Next year is going to be a fucking disaster. The strategy of voting for the least bad option doesn't work when the least bad option keeps getting worse. You can bleat at people to vote for the one party over and over again, but eventually enough people just give up or get desperate for any chance at change and think that voting for the other party will at least shake things up.

I voted for the NDP.

Federally the Liberals are the centrists led by the gilded spoon spoiled brat who couldn't lead his way out of a wet paper bag. But he is fantastic at speeches.
