Are y'all still fucking crying about a demographic that was too small to change the result?
Since y'all failed on your own and will probably continue to do so maybe try joining us next time! Our moment offers real change, honestly I think you'll like it far better.

Show me how Kamala could've won the presidency if all the third party voters swapped to her.

Lmao the post is about protest voters not non-voters.
Non-voters are too big and diverse a group to slot into any single issue.
Vocal protest voters created non-viters and turned blue votes into protest votes. "He didn't die from poison, he died from organ failure...cause by the poison"

I mean, clearly you have attempted that, but I fear it was unsuccessful.
You're not very smart, pal. Conservatives are disliked widely. People who aren't conservative are difficult to motivate. Do you see how this works?
You fucked up this bad and want us to join?
No.
They're so eager to have us join their cause, yet when we asked them to take a single day out of their lives to defend the basic human rights of minorities in the US, they said "Too much trouble."
You seem to be confusing protest voters and non-voters
I have no idea what this is about because it's not in a thread. Perhaps I missed how to link context.
If you mean joining .world, no. I don't want that.
Perhaps its your instance or client, but it is definitely in a thread. It is a direct response to a comment that says,
Hrm. I'm not piecing things together out of context, but maybe that's because I woke up from insomnia and I'm not fully rested. Thank you for providing info, nonetheless.
What change are you offering? Real question. Because I don't see Dems lifting people up. Maybe a college loan gift, if you're lucky. Nothing else in the real world.
So you’re saying that protests votes don’t work?
No vote "works" if you don't have enough of them. It's kinda the defining feature of voting.
What definitely doesn't work is trying to force voters to choose between "crumbling, already bad status quo" and "rapid fall into fascism" over and over. It's just not a great motivator.
So, protest voting worked in this case?
Nope we didn't get enough. Wanna join next time or are we going for another click on
system again?
So… protest votes don’t work. Got it. Thanks. I knew it was one or the other.
lmao what
With that logic Dems don't work cause they lost this once, and so should never be voted for again.
But hey guess what I got something else to vote for anyway! And we can maybe not even call it a protest vote and just call it a... vote.
So… protests votes DO work. I must have been confused earlier. I think I understand now.
Protests vote when you’re not getting the perfect outcome, and everyone else can kindly insert themselves under the that bus headed this way.
Super fantastic! Thanks for clearing this up. Again, I knew it was one or the other.
