No, it’s the Republicans who are to blame. The Democratic leadership is to blame for not putting up a candidate or policies that the voters wanted.
It’s always amazing to me that people will blame the people who couldn’t stomach to vote for the Democrats, rather than getting mad at the Democratic leadership for being so awful that people can’t stomach to vote for them.
True! One is an ocean of random people with their own beliefs, reasons and personal choices. The other is an institution. An organization with a plan. A plan they wrote themselves. A plan they get detailed statistics and polling data on. A plan in which they saw what they needed to do to win and chose not to, effectively betting on anti trump sentiment to keep them from doing the thing parties in their position are supposed to do. Concede to the people and make concessions. Instead they said “status quo, steady as she goes” mid genocide, mid rent crisis, post covid and they lost that bet. No one is to blame other than the gamblers who played power politics and lost to fascists.
The people are not an organized voting block able to strategically maneuver their votes. That’s what a party is for. That’s it’s whole purpose. And the Democrats failed as a party in that election due to their inability to stop committing a genocide, to stop pandering to mid right voters via radio silence on trans issues and active abandonment of immigrants via the adoption of 2016 trump immigration policy.
I mean come the fuck on, she was talking about FINISHING THE FUCKING WALL, the thing we all agreed was the dumbest thing ever. What do you want when the party runs someone like that?
I get you people who wanna blame the leftist in your life or on the Internet you saw saying they wouldn’t be voting. I get that you blame them. But you should blame the party who thought they could win without conceding anything whatsoever to any of the marginalized groups who had no other choice. They learned that there in fact was a 3rd choice and now we all suffer the Democrats incompetence
If my country had compulsory voting and my choices were trump and harris I would have voted for mickey mouse. Or do they send somebody in with you to vote for an approved candidate? Because that doesn’t sound like anyplace I’d be interested in living
No, the Republicans putting up a shitty, awful, terrible candidate that was somehow more likeable than the Democrat’s shitty, awful, terrible candidate, who came in on the coattails of another shitty, awful, terrible candidate was what put us into this mess.
I’ll never accept the claim that Trump was more likable than anyone; no matter how many Take That critiques people can sling about anyone on the Democratic party.
Where are you from? How it works where I’m from, is that you’re required to go vote. What you fill out on the paper is no one’s business.
Just put in a blank paper. Turn up because it’s your duty by being a citizen. We live in a society, not as individuals. People who want to live in isolation and not affect anyone else are welcome to fuck off to the middle of the ocean for all I care.
Compulsory voting retains majority of Australians’ support, because it makes voter suppression incredibly difficult.
It’s SOOOO easy to vote here it’s not even funny. We can partially thank compulsory voting for keeping it that way.
If they tried to make voting harder, everyone would be pissed off, since they’re required to vote. Good luck getting such a reform to stick…
Unlike in some certain countries where apparently you’re not allowed to give water out to voters in certain states.
Wild. Dumb. Much freedom to not vote 👌
Compulsory voting is great. We love it (well, most of us think it’s a good thing. I love it, personally)
I didn’t vote, and it doesn’t matter that I didn’t vote.
There are mass counties that had 0 Harris Votes and all DT. This is a statistical impossibility. On top of the already impossible results we’ve seen with the election anomaly all point together at obvious voting fraud. The election didn’t happen as you think it happened, it happened because billionaires conspired together to put a lunatic at the helm.
If you don’t like trump and you didn’t vote, then you’re to blame.
My country has compulsory voting so nobody has an excuse
Is you didn’t vote for Harris, you’re to blame.

Yeah I agree. I see a lot of folks out here victim blaming rather than critiquing the folks with the most power.

A stunning example of exactly the kind of performative pro-genocide bullshit that put us in this mess. Wonderful.
You’re taking to a foreigner, the election’s long over, and you never helped the Democrat’s cause with your edge-lord ass comments.
Not

I don’t think he was more likeable, but enough people did that they voted him into office. It doesn’t really matter whether you accept that or not.

Hope you’re enjoying the current democratic backsliding the USA is experiencing. It’s partially your fault for letting it happen.
