        And where did that 30% live?

        If not voting is voting for the person that won then everyone who didn’t vote in a blue state voted Kamala, so that 30% isn’t all “for” trump

          Naahhh we aren’t doing that. If you want to do that, source it and then we’ll talk. I have no way of knowing where they all live, but if you do, it’s your argument, get to making it.

        That’s oligarchy apologetics bullshit to keep us from changing the system. No need to make things more democratic if we’re blaming the majority of people.

          Sorry – no one can hear how right you are, over the simple glee of blaming the working class for getting so disenfranchised.

          Larceny this, mugging that… Can we talk about the greater reach of white collar crime a sec, r?

            Ah, sadly, no. That story was cut from the broadcast because we found a story about a dog that rides a motorcycle in Sioux City.
            “Market research” by our corporate owners says that white collar crime doesn’t bring in the advertising dollars unless the victims are other wealthy people.

        I said this a million times last year on the leftist threads to people crying about the lesser evil. I don’t wish any pain on their lives but I also don’t know how to get through their thick skulls how real life can get unless they experience it from time to time.

        Because voting is not compulsory in your country so there’s no incentive to provide accessibility for people to vote.

        Face it, you need a different system. Not going to happen without violence though… It’s a very sad state of affairs.

        That’s the same number it’s been for 100 years. You’re never going to change that by pointing it out so what is the goal of this conversation?

          That is the kind of aggressive apatheist mentality which got the US into this situation in the first place.

            No, voter suppression and the two party system are what got us in this situation.

            We don’t have such low voter participation because of vibes. It’s structural.

      That’s the reality of America’s FPTP system.

      If you did not vote for Harris, then you helped (directly or indirectly) Trump get elected.

      That’s the usual reality of voting though. It doesn’t mean every American wanted it, but it still means America voted for this.
