    Don’t think for a second we dont feel a strong flood emotions when we see the 66% of Americans who are a complete drain on the people around them face consequences for their actions(or inaction). The fact is, it doesnt happen nearly enough and it never changes anything.

      Has it ever crossed anyone’s mind, that those of that didn’t vote, was usually because we didn’t approve of either candidate?

      I never approved of orange baby, plain and simple.

      Kamala was cool though, looking to help people and not deceive them, and I just might have voted for her.

      But even though I have no problem with a female president, she would have too many world stage problems with countries and groups that don’t respect women at all.

      So, seeing both as a risk, why would I have voted for either? Like, why did Pete Buttiguieg drop out?

      That’s the real question, what forces in play made my dude Pete drop out? I sure as hell would have voted for him!

          What a wonderful response, objecting against someone that would have actually voted if Pete would have stayed in the running.

          I may not have voted, but I know for a fact I would never vote for the diaper.

          Like, why is it always a heads/tails coin decision?

          And what the fuck is up with the Electoral College?

            By not voting at all, you cemented Trump’s victory.

            You don’t get to say “well I wanted it to be different” now.

            Do better next time. Do something next time.

              No, I didn’t cement any victory, I literally said I didn’t vote. The voters cemented his victory, not me.

                Get off your high horse. You did make a choice. You chose to not make a choice.

                And with the way that electoral calculus and bias works in the US, not voting is disproportionately harmful to Democratic candidates, and disproportionately helpful to Republican candidates. You helped this happen by not voting.
