I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

Give them something to vote for. You can write articles of many paragraphs to analyze the course of the election, but in the end it boils down to this: The DNC pissed off too many of their voters and offered nothing in return.

Yeah. No matter how I look at it, this seems to be the only real solution that would have helped.

I have a (conspiracy) theory that those “genocide Joe” and “killer Kamala” folk are astroturfing for MAGA.

The time for voting is over. It’s time for fighting now, and I don’t think “I told you so”s are helping us unite and work together right now.

We can now say that anyone who could and didn't vote for Harris in magastan is a genocide enabler.

But but but, how were we supposed to know? We were too busy not paying attention to anything important!!

I've been saying since the election that anyone who voted for Trump or abstained in protest is complicit in Trump's regime of terror. Trump and his staff spent months on the campaign trail telling the public exactly what they would do when they took power, showing everyone exactly who they are, and now they're doing all of it. No one has the luxury of claiming ignorance.

That’s not how logic works.

They were mainly upset that we don’t have a choice to not support genocide.

Which just betrays their utter ignorance of US history. Slavery and genocide built this country, of course we’re gonna support it.

From what I have seen they seem pretty aware of the history of white supremacy and genocide. I don't know that this is particularly good analysis.

Expecting it to change any time soon was their naive mistake.

It's sxephil! Haven't thought about that guy in like a decade

It becomes more simplified if you just look at the US as a one party state with two divisions that serve the same one party leadership.

Imagine believing that Trump's genocidal policy is somehow different from genocide joe and kamalacaust. It's a continuation that they actively enabled and now support.

Do y'all understand how watching these creeps support a genocide for more than a year might have caused them to lose?

And you're still crying about it and blaming voters instead of opposing genocide. Pathetic and gross.

Why did Bibi want Trump to win so badly?

Thank you for your analysis. This is valuable and I appreciate it.
