stop fucking deluding yourselves. that's not how voting works. people who do not vote aren't voting for "other". they're voting for whoever ends up winning the votes of those who did. that 36 percent said "i don't care who wins, I'm fine with either". that is a vote for him.

31.78 .......allegedly.

that number is probably vastly inflated by at least 3% to 5% by elon.

want a source? suck my cock and find it yourself. (sorry, reddit bots got to me a while ago)

Man if only there was some huge portion of left wing constituents demanding change over a tax funded genocide that the democratic party could have easily pandered to and gotten that extra 1% boost of votes.

But like such a group would be too small to make a difference amirite.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ah yes, Palestine abstainers, too small to make a difference (so you can't blame them for ushering in fascism and several additional genocides!) but also large enough that if Dems had just Tried This One Simple Trick, they would have gained net millions of votes and won the election.

Also! They literally let someone hand out 250 million dollars, openly, and our “courts” gave it the go-ahead - even if it goes against some of the longest standing legal precedent regarding buying votes (done with booze back in the day).

This election wasn’t a thumb on the scale, it was the oligarchs mushroom-stamping humanity.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 43 points 1 week ago

Also, these oligarchs don't realize that they're going to be robbed just like the rest of us when the time comes. If they don't do exactly what trump and putin want, they'll either fall out of window or have to spend the rest of their lives hiding. These will be remembered as the good ol' days.

"69.16% of Americans are okay with fascism" isn't really a resounding defense of the health of American democracy in the face of fascism, though.

More people didn't vote at all than let this demented rapist burn everything down.

Fucking idiots.

Maybe the democrats should stop running ruling class candidates while expecting the working class to "fall in line?"

How come you never blame the people doing the same thing but expecting different results? If history is anything to go by, choosing a female to run for president guarantees a trump victory.

It's a hard truth, but a truth nonetheless. Unfortunately you people have been conditioned to cover your ears to hard truths and just pretend reality is a different way.

...... So fucking what?

"Ooh, he hasn't got a mandate." Yeah, know what he has got?

CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT. And no intention of ever giving it up.

(Yes, I know, don't abandon hope, organise, and all that. But crap like this just reads like "it'll obviously work out fine just wait it out" shit. Which famously Does Not Fucking Work)

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Idk, I can respect where you're coming from, but this meme feels more to me like a counter to people who are saying "Trump won, this is what America voted for, if you fight against his agenda you're fighting against the will of the people" etc. type crap

Totally agreed that just hoping things will work out fine isn't any kind of plan, but a reminder that the average human being doesn't like what's happening right now can help people feel a little less crazy when they're staying informed about current events

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world -2 points 6 days ago

What meme? This has been posted exactly one time, right here. That doesn't make a meme.

I am curious how many of those 36% that didn't vote wanted to but couldn't due to gerrymandering and other bullshit.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well they’d still be able to vote in a gerrymandered district, but as far as voter suppression, it was at an all time high, in terms of ratfucking attempts, but it’s still small compared to the overall population of non-voters.

Pew research found that:

Among those eligible to vote who say they did not cast a ballot, 42% say they wish they had voted while 57% say they do not.

So. Don’t give a damn til their shit blows up in real time.

If you didn't vote then you voted for the bad guy.

If you didn't vote you are just as bad as the MAGAniacs.

If you didn't vote you voted for Trump.

If you didn't vote you are responsible for the current situation.

If you didn't vote then you were fine with this outcome. The majority are ok with Trump winning.

[–] cool@lemmings.world -1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (13 children)

The fuck? I'm not fine with this outcome.

I'm also not fine with the outcome of harris.

Both suck, but what makes harris suck is that you people will think you're winning because you're losing slower. I refuse to fall in line because I will not support the idea that a slow loss is somehow a win.

If you people want different results, run different candidates! Otherwise, "you are fine with this outcome."

[–] tatterdemalion@programming.dev -2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So you want to lose faster?
