      Trump won with 1% of the vote.
      35% of registered, eligible voters stayed home. If 1% of those that stayed home would have voted we would be in a different world right now.
      Protest voters are absolutely to blame for this.

        If you actually want to look at the numbers of who stayed home in 2024 after voting in 2020 then those demographics were the older white men/women and hispanic men. Probably because both those groups have a harder time stomaching a woman with the exact same policies

        The people protesting the Zionists’ war were college students and under 30s, who voted the exact same they always do.

        Cool less than half the voting age population votes in the US.

        And it has always been like this

        So whining about the people who never vote and will never vote isn’t helpful

          This election was an existential threat to democracy. Anyone who was able to vote and didn’t vote for Harris, the opposition candidate, is to blame. The Democrats who stayed home because of fucking Gaza even moreso. We Harris voters knew this shit would happen because we pay attention. Anyone who voted for trump to send a message needs to do the same. There was 0 chance a trump presidency would turn out well for the Palestinians in Gaza.

            Keep telling yourself that I’m sure it will make things turn out different next time.

            Meanwhile I’ve been waiting for young people to actually vote since I was 18.

            Waiting on poor people to vote in their own self interests.

            Still waiting.

            Meanwhile you’re being tricked by propaganda into hating poor and young people.
