Dude.
You dumb cunts elected Trump twice.
Your country hasn't been a beacon of freedom for nearly ten years.
its funny because I was working with this british guy and when brexit happened I was like ha ha and then we voted in trump and he was like ha ha but I was like. Well that at least will only last four years. I so wish this was just a funny thing.
I doubt most people on Lemmy voted for Trump. I certainly didn’t. I believe the dumb cunts you are looking for are over on X.
The majority of Americans saw the first Trump run and thought "that shit was alright"
1/3. And then 1/3 thought it didn’t matter and didn’t vote or for whatever reason could not vote, some combination thereof.
So the majority.
A non-vote is still a vote.
the non voters felt it would somehow be good for palestine if kamala did not get in or that somehow if things were bad enough in the us the populace would have more empathy with them. Instead of what happened which is the populace has less pull to do anything about it and many like myself that now don't see doing anything on the global stage till we right our own house (which is more than just trump as we have to get rid of all the millenium and before laws that weakened civil rights)
Yes, me, the dumb cunt that has voted in every election for progressive leaders. My apologies to my fellow Americans for electing Trump.
With the way our election system works, not voting for Harris was the same as voting for Trump.
Well, I guess I should've said I voted as progressive as possible within the confines of our election system. Doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well haha.
Ranked choice elections are, like, right there. Frustrating that we can't have them.
Your attacks on Harris' character with no factual explanation is ludicrous. As for an inability to form a coherent thought, I distinctly remember her laying out clearly, concisely, and publicly several concrete policies with high level actions to reach the goals both in speeches and in debates. In fact, I heard criticism of her because she was too "intellectual" or detailed. Trump, on the other hand constantly rambles, goes off topic, uses words incorrectly and makes up whole new words. Your assertions are laughable on the surface.
You can disagree with her approach to policy, but attacking her personally in such a virulent fashion only shows you have no counter argument to her positions and are attacking her because she's not in your "tribe". In fact, your use of vicious nicknames gives a very strong impression that you are very much a Trump/MAGA partisan. Those people are well known to lack any kind of critical thinking and totally reject any factual information that counters their world view.
uh-huh. got it.
cool
you missed a bit of the quote there but all good
By voting for neither you said you were fine with everything Trump and project 2025 promised.
Life doesn't always give you perfect options, but in this case one was significantly worse than the other.
Now instead of getting 4 years to regroup and push progressivism, we get an unknown number of years of fascism.
And all of that is completely ignoring Harris's voting history, which was the closest to Sanders of the other senators, and the fact that as VP she pushed for an official investigation into Israel so they could bypass the law forcing them to provide arms.
Well we only had two viable choices and I'm pretty sure as bad as she was, she wouldn't be a dictator now.
Ok. Trump isn't either. He wants to be, but he isn't - still mostly obeying the courts for now, even if he drags his feet a bit sometimes.
Would she have been as bad domestically? Probably not, but there's danger in that too - allowing liberals to overlook the heinous crimes of the American empire, as so many did during Biden's presidency, because their own privileged comfort was never at risk. Only the lives of thousands of brown people overseas and well, that's just the cost of ""democracy"", isn't it?
Anyway, as I said, she still would've lost even if she secured every single third-party vote, so you're yelling into a quantifiable abyss here. She was a shit candidate and will be a shit candidate still if she runs again, just like Hillary Clinton.
What part of two choices are you not understanding? There's no reality in which Kamala Harris is as bad as Trump. Bad yes. As bad? It's not even close.
More people died during Biden's term than Trump's so
both seem irredeemably evil to me
A third voted for him. One third. Another third didn’t like either choice and didn’t vote. The final third bit the bullet and voted for Harris.
this is pretty much the way I see it as well. obviously not exactly. Half of the third who voted for him are complete idiots (I thought he would only go after cirminals types)
A good chunk of that third are black and latino voters. That fact alone is fuckin’ wild to me.
And a bunch of the votes in the first third are suspect. I mean, Trump admitted multiple times on camera that they were rigged
Jesus Christ dude.
Holy Jesus Christ you're fucking gone dude.
