I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

It's also frustrating to spread the word and make sure everyone knows the consequences. And then with everyone 100% knowing the outcome, decided a fascist was the best choice. The guy who had a playbook out months in advance detailing his plans of terror and destruction. The guy that every time he opened his mouth spewed racism, Hitler praising, promises of being a dictator, conspiracy theories, and on and on. And people heard/saw that and were like, YEP!

The idea still blows my mind. And I'm not sure I'll get to a point where I can understand why someone would sell us all out like that, and then still consider us on the same side.

in this case, i urge you to consider that it was Kamala and Biden who 'sold us all out', and not the voters.

it's not easy, because people are really frustrating. but at the end of the day, if you put the blame on the people running vs the people voting - you'll get 100% more traction with the people in the world.

i live in fucking MIssouri - it's HARD to practice what i preach, so trust me on how difficult it is.

this is with much love to you friend, because i want us to be in a better world.

Get out of here with that both sides bullshit. If you voted for a Nazi you wanted a Nazi more than a working country, full stop. And those that did and are now somehow surprised he is doing exactly what he said he would are getting no sympathy from me, and they should be taking responsibility for the pain being waged against marginalized groups.
