Just remember, America. You voted for what’s coming. You asked for it and so you have no one to blame but yourselves.
They told you exactly what they are planning to do.
The problem isn’t that America voted for this. Only 21% of the country voted for Trump.
The problem is that America didn’t vote at all.
Unless we understand why they didn’t vote it’s just going to keep happening
You can’t count people under the voting age and you need to add the people who didn’t vote because it means they supported whoever got in power. 170m registered voters in 2020 so must be similar. 43% of registered voters voted for him, 40% for Harris, 1% others, that’s 16% who didn’t vote that we can add to Trump’s number… But that’s just registered voters and doesn’t count eligible ones who didn’t register!
Not taking a vote, just like postponing or not taking a decision, is equivalent to taking one, so here we are.
Right, and unless we figure out why people didn’t bother voting this election we will be right back here in another four years. Just like we get right back here every single time there’s low turnout that gets a Republican elected.
I didn’t ask for it. I voted for Harris. If what you said they are going to do is the truth, you’ll suffer the consequences too, and will be just as guilty as I am.
We have very little say in how our government works. Over the course of US history the material decisions have been whisked away to less democratic structures (eg the supreme court, the federal reserve). Even early on the democracy was built for property owners (owners of people and land). People are feeling disenfranchised and the vote for trump is a (petulant) vote to flip the gameboard. Of course voting for trump is one of the worst things you can do if you want you and your community’s lives to improve, but the fundamental motivation is disenfranchisement and anger
Yes. Blue MAGA disenfranchised left wing voters.
MAGA emboldened right wing voters.
Republicans are always at fault for being right wing fascists.
Democrats are currently at fault for being right wing fascists.
The 2/3rds of American adults that are disenfranchised without representation are the victims.
Maybe AOC will learn from that spectacular sell out she did at the Nth hour, and will learn from her mistakes.
Both her and Sanders said to vote for the one that could be persuaded to come further left, and you’re throwing her under the bus? Wow, it’s everyone’s fault. Jefferson was right.
The 2/3rds of American adults that are disenfranchised without representation are the victims.
The real victims (with a say/vote) are the Americans who voted for Harris. The people who voted for Trump and those who abstained from voting actively and passively chose what’s coming.
You actively sought loss, despite all warning, caught in a fascist riptide, again, you didnt listen and lost, but you are the victim.
Give me a break.
Can you or anyone else tell me what “blue MAGA” is?
Edit: It sounds like the term means centrist/center-right Democrats who want to uphold the status quo. How is that “MAGA” of any flavor? I thought the MAGA movement was just a bunch of Christofascists.
I usually don’t use the term because it makes me sound like a tankie, but when I say blueMAGA it’s to describe the “hold your nose and vote Harris you fucking donkey” condescending pricks who that they’re both entitled to shut down all criticism of their preferred candidate and actually convincing anyone to vote by doing it. You know, the people now trying to convince themselves Harris only lost because Americans are sexist and racist and not at all because Harris’s campaign fucking sucked. How to tell: They’ll call anyone who criticizes Harris (they still do it but less often than before the election) MAGA, a Russian bot or a troll and seem convinced everyone who cares about Palestine is/was part of a Russian conspiracy to get Trump elected.
Establishment democrats who are pro Israel, and anti Ukraine. They are concerned with the super rich, and stand in the way of progressive policies. They say they are democrats, but their actions sound much more republican
Oh noes! You couldn’t pick your in-flight meal? Yeah, opening the emergency hatch at 30,000 ft was probably the smart move.
/s (for the stupids)
Genocide. Cheney endorsement. Boarder wall. Cop cities. Removal of trans treatment. Republicans in the cabinet. The most “lethal” military in history.
In-flight meal.
Seriously dude. Wake up.
Blue maga is not a thing, has never been a thing, and will likely never be a thing.
It’s a subtle rebranding label to say “both sides” while not actually engaging in discussion of the problems. And there are problems, all over the place. But now not only have they (they are the ones pulling the strings, not MAGA) got the power placement they wanted, they’ve succeeded in pitting the peons against each other in this rhetoric of finger pointing and blame. Bread and circuses…this thread is an example of one of the rings in that circus.
The 2/3rds of American adults that are disenfranchised without representation are the victims
Maybe those lazy fucks should have gone out and voted then.
“YOUR VOTE IS MEANINGLESS! IF YOU VOTE FOR ANYTHING BUT THE GENOCIDE, YOU ARE VOTING FOR TRUMP! DONT EVEN BOTHER VOTING! YOUR VOTE IS A WASTE OF EFFORT UNLESS YOU ARE VOTING BLUE MAGA!!!”
An incredible amount of disenfranchised Democrats don’t vote
“THOSE LAZY FUCKS!”
Here’s a downvote and a block. Feels like that’s what you were going for so congrats!
