I always find it telling when someone blames the people who couldn't stomach to vote for an openly corrupt, genocidal party, instead of blaming the leadership of the party for being openly corrupt and genocidal.

There were two choices and by not being able to see that reality they helped the worse choice get power.

Well, there were a few choices, not two. They also didn't "help", by definition. They sat back and watched. And while I disagree with standing back and watching, I can't blame them for looking at a shit-sandwich, and a shit-sandwich with sprinkles and deciding not to waste their time on either.

The person who got the third most votes, how many did they get?

[–] CaptSpify 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

861,164

Any other basic reading that you want me to do for you?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So basically even if they got all of Harris’s vote they still wouldn’t have won?

There were two choices.

Yes to the first part, no to the second. I don't understand how this is difficult to understand.
