I keep reading all this finger pointing from people that actively spoke against voting for Harris.

I think that’s just your confirmation bias talking

Maybe those who didn’t vote shouldn’t be allowed to complain.

I’ll tell all the convicts, LGBTQ children and… every non-US citizen who’s going to suffer through another Trump term.

Be realistic. I’m being critical of eligible citizens who chose not to vote.

Excellent job modeling both gaslighting and a strawman in the same pointless criticism, btw.

That’s not what your overgeneralising comment suggests.

I’m not sure you know what these terms mean.

Fair point. I’ve edited my initial comment to address abstainers.

As for my grasp on vocabulary:

gaslighting: to psychologically manipulate (someone) usually over time so that the victim experiences doubts about their own emotional or mental stability

Exhibited in your suggestion that conformation bias is clouding my ability to read.

strawman: an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent’s real argument.

Demonstrated by your argument redirecting the focus to those who are ineligible to vote.

Ready to try again? Although you may have a better chance of convincing someone less literate.
