Americans explicitly voted for corruption. There was no confusion on the matter. He has a rap sheet that spans an entire lifetime proving he's corrupt. And the majority of voting Americans chose him anyway.
There should be no shock factor here. America wanted this. Americans are stupid.
The majority of votes were for not Trump.
More people of voting age didn't vote at all than voted for any one candidate.
The system is broken but nobody wants to fix it
My take is anyone who can vote but doesn’t is implicitly throwing their support behind whoever eventually wins. On 2024-11-05, the majority of Americans chose to not be taken seriously by the rest of the world.
I’m not an American.
As an American, non-voters can suck a butt. They're effectively giving their proxy vote to everyone else, so they have no right to complain or engage in discussion.
I'm sorry for you other Earthicans who have to share the ball with my country. We're stupid because we let ourselves be deregulated, gerrymandered, propagandized, and lied to, and can't collectively ask for it to stop.
As a non American, anyone who willingly votes for genocide is a Fascist.
The majority of votes for a candidate that could actually win were for Donald Trump.
I specifically said the majority of VOTING Americans voted for Trump. Which is true, if you're taking into account the only two candidates that mattered.
If you were of voting age and you didn't vote, you don't matter. If you were of voting age and voted 3rd party....well, I have an opinion of you that I won't share here. But suffice to say, if you voted 3rd party, you may not have technically voted for Trump, but you still made his presidency happen.
But have you considered both sides bad? My political sensibilities are far more finely tuned than yours, which allows me to see that the Democrats are not an alternative to fascism, but are in fact complicit in it. This is everyone's fault but mine!!!
Genocide apologist
Sorry which one was the no-corruption candidate again?
You're right, Harris would have done the same thing.
But Americans weren't voting for the same thing
