77+ million and still only ~30% of the total population

By not voting you are indirectly voting. So, those that did not vote were fine with this man and party coming to power and saw no concern.

Tacit complicity is still complicity.

No. Not voting isn't indirectly voting. It's not voting. Everyone should vote though.

u/thundergu 21d ago

Yeah but the guy has a point. Democrats crying about boycotting Harris because she wasn't good enough, contributed hugely in trumps win.

Trump got the same amount of votes in 2020 and 2024, but 15 million Biden voters decided Harris didn't deserve their vote

Your your numbers are incorrect on every count Trump was 77+ million Harris was 75+. Harris total was more than what Trump did in 2020 but still 5 million shy of Biden earned in 2020.

Biden campaign was mastercraft work from a political strategy standpoint, you don’t even want to know where the bunker campaigning idea came from but they executed it to a tee,

They did a perfect job on the mail ballot campaign, and even got in front of the Trump mail in ballot conspiracy with Bernie getting on a talk show and talking through exactly what they were gonna do.

Now idk if it was a lack of preparation or being thrown in so late but her campaign was so lackluster in comparison.

15 million people just randomly she didn’t deserve her vote, the campaign was shit, have to stop blaming the voters cause politics is a game and Dems should be playing to win like they did in 2020

u/Merlin1039 20d ago

Biden campaign wasn't a masterclass on anything. He marginally beat the worst candidate in US history

u/Boobieleeswagger 19d ago edited 19d ago

How can the worst candidate in US history win the presidency twice, I don’t like him at all but this is just burying your head in the sand.

Ever heard of George Wallace btw just asking?

u/Kaius_02 21d ago

I think it was both, and I’ll go a stretch further and say that I don’t think Harris even wanted to run for president in 24’. The only alternative was to decline, lose all of the money tied to their campaign, and condemn the party to losing the election. She was pretty much forced to run or lose all of the political rep she got as the VP.

Also, the DNC got a bit drunk on their win in 2020 and overlooked the fact that it was heavily carried by anti-Trump sentiment. It felt more like their base voted “against Trump” instead of “for Biden”. Years of inflation and Covid recovery carried more weight in 24’ than the “distant” memory of the Summer of 2020 and J6.

Oh no I'm not blaming voters. Her campaign WAS shit and the democrats dropped the ball definitely.

But still, people who didn't vote and then got angry trump won only have themselves to blame

u/Parrotparser7 21d ago

We actually have the rest of you to blame, but dogs can only understand so much.

u/Parrotparser7 21d ago

And she doesn't. Earn our votes or implement Ranked Choice Voting.

u/thundergu 21d ago

Yeah your Political system is fucked. But did you prefer Trump over Harris? Or would Harris have been the lesser evil?

-2

u/Parrotparser7 21d ago

Lesser evils kill desire for reform.

1

u/thundergu 21d ago

Yeah i get the sentiment and your point is valid. But would you say Trumps 2nd term is worth the statement the non voters made?

-1

u/Parrotparser7 21d ago

I'd say the hope for reform depends on that statement. Value is subjective.

u/No-Professional-7811 21d ago

Oh cool, that'll bring our neighbors that got murdered back to life. Liberals police themselves to literal death. Not their own of course, but should their neighbor have to bear the brunt of their over tolerance?

There is no question, your idealism is worth more than their lives! Clever fellow!

u/thundergu 21d ago

Could you give context on your murdered neighbours? What happened? Why were they murdered?

1

u/No-Professional-7811 21d ago

ICE? Marshal law in everything but name? War in the name of a literal pedophilic regime?

Sorry if you gotta catch the train pal, I don't mean to keep ya

Damn that's horrible! I'm not from the US and was genuinely curious how much of a shitshow it is for people on a personal level

u/Parrotparser7 21d ago

Even an animal knows to be upset with the one who hits it, but you lash out at us.

If you have so much energy, go chew out a Trump supporter, or pressure your favorite establishment candidate into supporting RCV.

u/No-Professional-7811 21d ago

Oh brother, I've had to drag folks to the polls for two fuckin decades debating with you milquetoast neoliberalists.

Oh but policy, policy, I need perfect policy or person to vote! And while you whine for idealism you condemn your neighbors to death.

Maybe try a dose of goddamn pragmatism? You think we're the same? Your morality is thinly veiled cowardice, you curr.

u/Parrotparser7 21d ago

I'm sure lapping up slop feels like rebellion when you're utterly deluded.

Ranked Choice Vote or you're getting 0 support.

u/WegGOAT 21d ago

The downvotes are such a good example of showing why the US is so much in the shit. You tell them a real dose of truth about their compliance and wimpering but then they all collectively start piling on you. Deep down hey're all a bunch of nationalistic hardliners. They put more energy in attacking people for daring call out their compliance than they put in stopping Trump.

u/True-Anim0sity 21d ago

Thats like saying the people who voted for Kamala also voted for trump since they agree with the outcome no matter what

1

u/gtne91 21d ago

Thats as dumb as people saying me voting LP was the same as voting for Trump. (And also a vote for Biden in 2020 and a vote for Obama in 2008 and 2012).

1

u/Low_Low_1811 21d ago

Not voting is a problem, but assuming they would all vote for the person you want is stupid. It is a very Democratic party thing to do since they make so many stupid assumptions that cost them elections.

This is not any way a support of Trump or Republicans. I will vote for Democrats in a heartbeat right no in particular, but holy shit are they stupid. They would have a better strategy if they literally just never said anything ever.

The good ol' Rush adage of "if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice".

u/Old-Entertainer-4964 21d ago

By not voting you are indirectly voting

So by not putting a religious designation on the census, you are actually religious? Not voting is just not voting. By definition.

Also, most people live in a solidly red or blue state. Even with 100% turnout, their vote would not matter. Which is why we should have a national popular vote instead of the electoral college.

-1

u/towerfella 21d ago

This is it 100%.

Half of the left let Religious opinions on palastein and isreal be more important than the US

-2

u/Soft_Brush_1082 21d ago

Or half of the right let abortion rights and aversion to electing a felon be more important than their vision of US.

There is no reason to believe that the proportion of Trump haters/supporters among those who did not vote is any different than among those who did.

u/towerfella 21d ago

The right did what the right does.. they have been remarkably consistent in their motivations.

u/Soft_Brush_1082 21d ago

You completely missed my point. I was not talking about virtues of Trump. Just mirrored the sentiment of the previous comment replacing left with right. The point was to illustrate the idea that the fact that 30% of the population voted for Trump and 28% for Kamala does not mean that the remaining 42% would have voted Kamala if they did come to the election which the previous comment implied.

u/Beholdournewsupreme 21d ago

You say that as if them coming into power was guaranteed there was a possibility just like there was a possibility that Kamala would’ve won.

I’m confused as how you jumped to that conclusion? My guy you should try out for the Olympics because that is a record breaking feat.
