I don't want to hear another god damn word from young American leftists. All their moralizing, all their protesting, and they stayed home and allowed this. Fuck you assholes.
There's another possibility: they didn't stay home, but there's just more of the other guys.
Or in places that took massive measures to prevent or decrease youth voting
Can you be more specific? I didn't hear anything about this.
Removed or made it harder to vote on/near campuses is a big one. Along with lowering number of places to vote.
Plus some states moving away from early voting or mail in ballots.

Trump is projected to win the popular vote too, the first time a Republican presidential candidate has since 2004. There are more of the other guys showing up at least.
Nah, Trump turnout was lower then last time, but Dem turnout was even lower
It seems you’ll blame anyone but the Democratic party itself. This was their election to lose. Beating a right-wing clown like Trump should be an easy win, but they lost to him two times out of three.
And they brought this upon themselves.
So just like the dnc always has?
Left voters stayed home, they are the only ones to blame
Not the candidate running a terrible campaign or the dnc not doing an actual primary?
There's so many reasons for this and your just gonna blame the voters the party always drives away?
Yes. No matter who you vote for, it is your civic duty to vote. If you didn't vote, you don't get a say cause you literally refused it. Fuck you
I voted, plenty of leftists voted. They didn't vote for genocide.
I can't wait for dnc to again decide to go harder right because of their failures
Here’s a list of progressive policies both foreign and domestic that supermajorities of both democrats and republicans support.
What’s that? You’d rather support genocide and brag about being endorsed by Dick Cheney?
You do you, I guess……. You’ll still get your weird blue maga votes i suppose.
I blame people like you.
I’m sorry Dave. I can’t do that
I had accidentally replied to the wrong person and then immediately deleted it, but it looks like the deletion request never got processed by midwest.social.
I like your post
I'm not even American. But I will be affected by your people's absolute stupidity. Anything you Americans say is nothing but "durrrr" to the rest of the world now
That's nice dear. Being selfish and making everything about yourself is how Americans ended up with two fascist parties in the first place.
Nuke the gay, commie whales and build a bomb for Jesus!
I love your username you traitor!
No I voted, for Claudia de la Cruz.
It wasn't the leftists that did this, it was the gullible bumblefucks in rural America.
Trump's votes didn't change, it was The Blue voters that dropped drastically
This comment is for other readers: they are pulling shit out of their ass, placing blame where they believe it will do the most damage. Do yourself a favor and block them.
Not this leftist.
Anyone who stayed home helped Trump, I hope you voted against him
That is my point. I didn’t stay home, I’ve been fighting the good fight, and your generality about leftists enabling this is off base.
How is it that you, me, everybody, everybody's cousin, and also the FBI were all fully aware that Trump & Co were guaranteed going to try and cheat the election, and yet the first moment all the republican electors come out and say "Yep Trump wins!! We promise!!" everyone is just accepting this as fact?
I have severe doubts about the validity of these numbers for at least the next several weeks. Republicans have proven repeatedly that they are not going to play fair in any fashion. I don't believe a damn thing they tell me without receipts for it and we've got until January to produce the receipts.
