Well, actually it's one-quarter of us that chose this clown. See - funny story - the voting system is not compulsory and there's kind of an equal measure of apathy and voter-disenfranchising that goes on whereby clowns make it harder for non-clowns to vote, and then a bunch of bizarro clowns claim voting is a scam or some shit, and then about a third of the population just . . doesn't do it. For. some reason. (Sometimes valid reasons, but not usually.)

So we're way ahead of you in hating those Americans who backed this traitorous demented rapist piece of shit, but it is only representative of us in that our fucked-up voting system makes it look like that.

Yep and that is exactly why 2/3 or you wanted this. The 1/3 that didn't vote was like ok he seems fine.

[-] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 53 points 3 days ago

Those of you that didnt vote are also complicit.

Those who couldn't be bothered to vote against Trump, or who were too ignorant to understand why they should, can't be counted on for anything at all - and certainly not to help stop the USA from invading Canada.

That one quarter represents one half of Americans, whether they're disenfranchised or not.

You can't absolve yourselves of blame, just because of the 'system'.

"Every ~~black person~~ American is responsible for all the actions of any other ~~black person~~ American."

The Americans who did vote against Trump are not responsible for this cluster fuck, maybe blaming them for things they can't control isn't helpful...

No one's blaming the people who voted against him, we're blaming the people who didn't.

You can’t absolve yourselves of blame, just because of the ‘system’.

Sure as fuck sounds like they are blaming OP, with no indication that OP didn't vote against Trump.

I think you’re supposed to support your thesis first.

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

'Stop thinking' is my thesis.
