Let’s fast forward to the part where you tell me how they pass a law protecting abortion when the GOP owns the House.
Doesn’t matter now. The GOP has a trifecta and SCOTUS so prepare for a nationwide ban. Very cool that we’re about to lose what little protections we have at the state level too.
I wrote in my own name for president this time around. That way I’m sure to be 100% perfectly aligned with who I voted for. I’m sorry to hear about this but I just couldn’t vote for Harris. /s
Enjoy your perceived victory against bad old uncle Joe…
This sentiment is the most painful shit to read on here. Lots of “maybe they’ll learn” or “so sorry your party lost /s”. Do these people think Biden and Harris will suffer through the Trump presidency? They’re rich as fuck. It’s WE who will suffer, probably minorities getting the worst of it.
Good job guys, you really showed 'em…
Did you ever write to your congressional representatives like they suggested?
No, because I don’t support a weapons ban. That’s beside the point.
If the result was inevitable then the voters have no agency and are in no way responsible for the outcome.
I think you’re smart enough to know how a FPTP voting system works. We had 2 real options. Voters have agency as to which one of the two are elected. Stop pretending like you don’t understand how this works.
You’re giving the most heavily propagandized segment of the most heavily propagandized country on earth a lot of credit when they can’t even seem to understand that a tarrif is a tax on imports.
How sad is it then that this group understands this better than you pretend to?
You mean like how the Democrats promoted Trump thinking that he’d be an easy win for Hillary?
No, it would be like funding a third party candidate that is close to Trump with the express purpose of peeling votes off Trump.
Might as well have written in their own name for all the good it could have possibly done.
Oh it’s you. The one who claimed it was a false dichotomy but I somehow predicted the future.
Let’s both watch what becomes of Gaza over the next four years on top of all the other bullshit Trump will pull.
Thanks for nothing!
That’s all valid.
Glad we only buy game consoles from China. Can you imagine what these tariffs would do if a significant portion of our imports came from there?
Damn that’s crazy because here’s me before the election telling the future. How in the world did I perform this feat? Do I have amazing powers of precognition?
Again, you’re telling us what you’d wish would happen. I was telling them what would happen.
What’s more is this is a concept that both the GOP and their voters understand. It’s why the GOP funds campaigns like Stein and gets others like RFK Jr. to bow out. Everyone who doesn’t understand this should be deeply embarrassed to misunderstand something about the US election system that Donald fucking Trump understands. And he dumb as shit.
See you in 4 years when the next president is the Dem or Rep nominee. *holds hands at temples, activating powers of foresight*
Maybe letting Trump appoint more will help.
And I wish I had a million dollars. It’s just not reality.
People should be smart enough to work backward from a foregone conclusion: We’re getting the Dem or Rep nominee. Picking the best of your two options is logical. Anything else is wishing. Grow up.
You mean the shit that keeps getting blocked by the courts? By judges appointed by Trump himself?
Jesus fucking christ. He’ll appoint yet MORE judges this time, maybe some more to SCOTUS, and you people will complain next time one of them blocks a Dem down the road… Fuck me.
Fucking too true.
Argued till I was blue in the face right here on Lemmy about sitting out and voting third party. The entire time I was thinking those who are fine with Trump must either be stupid or privileged so as not to be as affected by his bullshit.
Check out Vivaldi. Yes it’s still Chromium. Consider reading the link.
How many Trump voters do you imagine are here?
We went from voting privately to “speaking up”. Why?
What was keeping them from voting for Harris besides their own shitty views?
I’m seeing an uptick in accounts pushing anger and resentment at groups of people based on immutable attributes.
This is one of them.
Anyone else think that was a pony tail until they sat up?
But… We warned the Genocide Joe crowd Trump would be worse? And actively tried to convince them not to to let it happen?
Like, we said the stove was hot a bunch of times and they just had to touch it. I’m gonna call those people stupid now.
To be clear, I don’t think this group of people was big enough to sway the election.
