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.
