Cool, we remember - now what? What do we materially do now to resist that isn't just blaming non-voters online?
Blaming other people and feeling superior is how Democrats win! Aren't you paying attention? Hey, where are they taking us??!
Get ready to vote Dem really hard in 2028 /s
Go protest, resist being part of that genocide by laying down work. Call or write your local representatives voice your opinion and ask how you can help to stop that.
There aren't many options... Which is probably why op is blaming non-voters, who are complicit in creating our current situation.
Should probably blame the people who actually voted for the guy and not an unrelated third party
Bunch of butthurt authoritarians whining about people they failed to engage and saying "but that's the system we're in" like that doesn't apply equally to having to convince people to vote FOR you
Blaming both camps is the best way to go. But why spend efforts blaming the Trump voters? Presumably, they aren't subject to appeals of logic or compassion or they wouldn't have voted for him in the first place. So we know they're pieces of shit. But the jury is still out on the protest non-voters. Did they fail to vote because they disagreed with kamala on a minority of her positions, or did they just not want to elect a brown woman? Assuming that they understood the choices of outcomes between candidates, they voluntarily chose to ignore the greater good for their own personal disagreement. Additionally, there's evidence that if those protest voters had voted for Kamala she would have won. Therefore, they are to blame. To ignore that is to be an apologist for those at fault.
