Same thought when I read about Missouri voting for access to abortion, and for Republicans.
I'm just so dumbfounded by how many progressive constitutional amendments got passed but voted Republican.
I just can't comprehend someone saying, "You know, this asshole took away my abortion rights but since I'm voting to restore them, I guess he should get another shot."
These people think that abortion amendments are going to hold when their dear leader is in the White House.
Americans are morons. That's it.
Apparently Trump's numbers are same compared to 2020 but something like 14 million Biden voters chose to stay home than vote for Harris.
Absolute fuckwits.
Edit: Trump lost 3 million voters compared to 2020.
maybe if the dems would stop fielding such uninspuring candidates whos main argument seems to be "i'm not that guy" they might get somewhere
Sure buddy. It's all someone else's fault that you didn't get the perfect candidate that you wanted.
So you stayed home and look who you got as a president.
Good job protesting against DNC. 👍
I'm from the UK so i don't have the option to vote in the US election, if i were a US citizen i would have voted for Harris. Take it as an outside perspective. Improve or fuck off. Trump got less votes than he did last time and won both the popular vote and the electoral college.
The numbers don't lie, a politician that doesn't get people to vote for them is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
do better.
Lmao I'm not from US either.
Sorry but this isn't a movie which you can decide to watch or not based on trailers.
If voters are expecting everything to be spoonfed to them or get dazzled by politicians then they're fucking morons.
You say Harris failed to motivate people to vote for her. I say American voters failed to be motivated to vote against Trump. Even after living under is presidency once already.
Hope they enjoy dismantling of EPA, OSHA, healthcare, worker's rights, education and many other things just because they weren't wowed by a politicians.
Ciao
