Not really. A large portion didn’t even vote at all, which is even worse in my book.

„Here is Kamala Harris. She’s not perfect, but she values democracy and loves her country.

Here is Donald Trump. He is senile, deranged, corrupted and shares classified information with the USA‘s mortal enemy. Also he hates the poors and gays and wants to take their rights away.“

„Idk. They are kinda the same. I opted not to vote.“ 🥴🫠

In my eyes, if you didn’t vote against him, you voted for him.

Exactly. These non voters are complicit. But I’m just saying… how idiotic can a person be? Like seriously.

How can you not vote when you have options like Kamala vs Trump?

Fucking brainless idiots. And now they probably cry about their non existent healthcare to get taken away completely. And losing their jobs. And somehow it’s the Lib‘s fault.

People are always surprised at the answer to this question. People are really, really, really, ridiculously stupid.

Should justice ever return to the USA, I hope the non-voters get the same treatment as the nazi voters.

I absolutely believe that the Both Sides Are The Same idea is really, really stupid. How dumb do you have to be to believe that HitlerPig was going to be better at anything than Harris, or any other Democrat for that matter. Or even any other human. He is literally the most prolific traitor in American history, a definitive pyschopath, and hopelessly ignorant in the most basic things.

The problem was that when it came to the Gaza issue, they both WERE kind of the same. Whichever one you voted for might pay some lip service to the genocide, but they were both going to continue to send weapons, bombs, and money to Israel to continue it. Under HitlerPig, it won't end until the Gaza Strip is cleared out, and Kushner is building luxury resorts, hotels, and condos.

Under Harris, there would be a lot more scolding, but it wouldn't have slowed the flow of weapons one bit. In the end, Gaza would still be emptied, and Kushner would still be creating the Jewish Dubai.

I agree. Nothing more to add. You said it all. Seriously.
