If you didn't vote then you were fine with this outcome. The majority are ok with Trump winning.
I get downvoted every time I bring this up too. However, the voters saw January 6th and they saw the repeal of Roe V Wade. If that wasn't enough to get your butt to vote then you're fine with this.
I still think big tech backed Trump because of Lina Khan. Well also the tax breaks. Urgh ...
This is downvoted...?
Not anymore it isn't.
The fuck? I'm not fine with this outcome.
I'm also not fine with the outcome of harris.
Both suck, but what makes harris suck is that you people will think you're winning because you're losing slower. I refuse to fall in line because I will not support the idea that a slow loss is somehow a win.
If you people want different results, run different candidates! Otherwise, "you are fine with this outcome."
Imagine having this little intelligence. Life must be bliss.
Pick a lane dude.
Learn to read.
Learn to think. All up and down this thread you're coming out with the same illogical arguments that defy reality and contradict yourself. Maybe have a little think about why people are so cross with you and why trump and Putin are so pleased with your choices and your words.
I'm saying things you don't want to accept and that go against your herd mentality. You intrinsically need to throw whatever shit at the wall to see what sticks to fit in with your peers.
I don't expect more from people like you and you just reinforce my decisions when you get mad at me instead of yourselves.
That's a no, then. You're absolutely not going to do any reflection. Everyone else is wrong except you. Got it.
You have so much contempt for people who wanted to not have trump and would rather have the Democrats that you can't find an ounce of compassion in your heart for the people who about to lose their social security, the women who have already lost their bodily autonomy, the trans folks who are losing their legal existence, the Gazans who are going to have their country replaced by a theme park, the Ukrainians who are being abandoned by America, the people affected badly by the acceleration of inflationary policies, etc, etc, etc.
So, something worth thinking about:
Had YOU people voted, you wouldn’t be here crying about a meme.
Just saying.
Had you people nominated a better candidate, I would've voted.
Just saying.

So you want to lose faster?
It's not what they said.
By not voting, you are complicit with whomever ends up on the White House, that could be someone you like (and obviously it is for probably a lot of people who didn't vote) but assuming you were eligible and able, by not voting, the statement you effectively make is 'I am ok with any option'
who says I didn't vote?
and if you vote for the democrats, and they decide to NOT take office after winning again, like they did 25 years ago, then you've done worse than waste your vote-not that it was ever worth much.
if you vote for the democrats, and they throw that shit, you're basically saying "I am okay with these dipshits who will always snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when it's most important, and will never actually fix what's been damaged, they just won't damage it quite as deliberately'. which is not good.
No, if you vote for Democrats, and they win, you are saying you voted for Democrats, this is simpler than you are making it.
Not voting (when eligible and able) just means you are apathetic to the outcome.
Saying 'democrats bad' isn't some gotcha response to this concept. Voting for someone who goes against their constituent, is a bad person, or otherwise isn't what you expected is not the same thing as not voting at all, nor is voting for someone with a slim chance of winning or voting for someone that the general population disagrees with. All of those are actions taken to have some stake in the process and they are conscious decisions to support a specific person or group.
When you don't vote, you implicitly support the winner, because by definition, you chose not to support anyone else, that's just how the concept of voluntary voting works, it has nothing to do with the politics at play.
I wasn't saying you personally didn't vote, I was speaking colloquially, using 'you' to refer to the subject of the discussion (a person who didn't vote).
again; I'm not saying I didn't vote.
that said: there is no voting. there was an election last year, and, fairly or unfairly: you fuckers stuck the landing, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. past tense. done. MOVING THE FUCK ON
I don't know if there's going to be another election, or, if there is, whether it's going to be real or fake. I think counting on that is foolish. I think obsessing over electoral shit instead of the actual mechanics of community and machinery of power is why we're all in this mess.
so please touch fucking grass, talk to your neighbors, and do something that will literally ever matter.
So you just didn't read my comment where I addressed the fact that I am not claiming you didn't vote, and instead you want to sling shit?
I get the feeling that you don't want to have a conversation, you just want to yell. I get it, but I won't participate any longer.
