MODERATORS
Sorry. I asked for a ballot with a non-genocidal name on the ticket and was told I needed to leave the building.
Friend tried to vote, but she didn't have a DL yet (chronic Metro rider) and her student card didn't count as a valid Real ID.
Mom voted in a suburb that was gerrymandered 55/45 Republican a few years earlier. She got to vote by mail because she was a senior citizen. But nobody younger than her has that privilege anymore.
Then there was the woman who issued a provisional ballot because she was out on parole and wasn't sure if she could legally vote again. Police arrested her for it.
Maybe there's a reason turnout has been falling that goes farther than "people had a case of the stupids suddenly".
You were told not to vote as part of a campaign to get liberal voters to stay home. You fell for it.
It was a campaign to stop a genocide. Harris chose to throw her campaign instead of winning votes.
You chose to make the genocide escalate dramatically. You cut off Gazans noses to spite Harris' face.
i don't work for the state department
Can't be reiterated how many times Harris attacked her own base and ate away at the coalition Biden had used to win four years early.
But it's never the politician's fault for alienating the voters. It's always those stupid disloyal single-issue anti-genocide voters.
It's both of your faults. Multiple things can be true at once; such as correctly understanding that genocide is bad while also simultaneously being too fucking stupid to vote against the obvious fascist.
Why is a random person on the Internet held to the same level of culpability as a sitting executive branch official?
I always find it amazing that people want to blame those that couldn't stomach to vote for genocide. Instead of blaming the ones with the money, the power, and the platform that chose to hand the election to Trump in order to keep supporting genocide.
You ever get that speech on a plane about putting on your own oxygen mask before helping others?
I sure have. I'm not sure how that's relevant to the conversation.
The Democratic party was told not to run disastrously unpopular candidates, they did so anyways, then blamed the electorate for their defeat.
Seems like you fell for it.
Man, you showed them, trump has been great for gaza.... how's it been working out for you?
Here's the thing though, the genocide was bipartisan. Voting literally didn't affect it. Also this hold hold your nose strategy doesn't seem like it actually works. Just straight up does not win elections and shame and voters isn't working. You should change up your tactics on the off chance we ever have elections again
Liberals don't want to hear it. They refuse to believe their side was involved in the bloodshed.
They'll heckle you and downvote and call you a Russian bot for speaking any kind of truth on the Dems' enthusiastic participation in the Holocaust.
It's like trying to talk to a Catholic about the Nazis or the priest sex scandal. They will not listen.
Lol so you thought that trump would be better? Man you really showed everyone.... I'm sure Gaza is all "thank Allah they didn't vote in genocide joe again, it's so much better with trump"
I keep seeing this response to a conversation about genocide
Yea because you idiots decided to protest vote in a literal nazi... who cranked up the genocide on gaza to 11....but somehow you still seem to think this was the smart thing to do.
Which 3rd party voter said that Trump would be better? I don't think I've ever seen them say that.
I've only heard liberals who apparently are in support of genocide say that.
This election was not a "protest" vote election. This was a vote dem or get fascist who cannot give a single fuck about gaza...
Yeah, which is why we loudly told the dem to stop running an unpopular campaign. It seems like she decided helping out with a genocide was more important than winning the election
And congrats you helped crank the genocide to 11...way to take the moral high ground. I'm sure everyone in gaza is just so happy to have trump in power.
And congrats on voting for genocide. I'm sure that everyone in the US who is losing their rights are happy that your party chose genocide, over winning what should have been an easy election.
Lol yea cause me voting for dems was a vote for genocide.
No, it's just that many people understandably have mass murdering millions of civilians as a red line. Like, if that's not a dealbreaker in a candidate, what is?
Fascism. In a first past the post electoral system, a non vote is a vote for the opposition.
You were fine with fascism abroad. It's only domestic fascism you have an issue with. Typical liberalism.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
wonder how thats working out for your ideals.
Great for them.
Everything's worse but at least they still get to feel smug. #winning
There's also the retraction of mail-in voting from 2020. That may actually be the major difference between 2020 and 2024
