Yes, and if you say that this was a “democracy” then it would be the people’s choice (terrible but hey that is how democracy works). But you are saying people killed democracy by not voting for one of two options, something that implies you can have a single option democracy work.
You can’t, this is just authoritarianism at this point. People where clearly pissed off at the lack of agency and lashed out (classic fascism move) This was a failure of a two party system and the Democratic party, unless you think people really want fascism in that case go to the start of this comment.
People had the choice between democracy exists or stops existing. They chose it to stop existing. But yes normally both parties should have democratic voters. But in this case they werent so the non voters killed any chance of having this again
Yeah, I would agree if the vote turnout was low. But it was not, it was the second highest since 1932. People came out and voted hard against the status quo, the issue is (and the monkey paw curls) since it is not a democracy in the states but a stupid two party system by doing so they voted (or by not voting) for fascism.
America has ruined the very concept of democracy and long before this election (although this was a colossal fuck up I agree)
Pandering to their unrealistic expectations to have a perfect candidate didn’t work, so I think I will blame them now. Every day for the rest of my life. Stop telling me to act nice to them to appease them, clearly nothing will.
It makes me sick. The people who think they chose the moral high ground or whatever bull they tell themselves. They should know better. Shame on them and those who defend them, ignorance is no longer an excuse.
Yeah… not a great idea to blame the very people you needed to stop fascism.
Oh and just a reminder the choice was between:
That is not a democracy at that point, just authoritarianism though the threat of worse authoritarianism (in this case fascism).
And non voters chose literal fascism. They are fascist enablers. They will not help stop fascism. They chose fascism.

Oh no, be angry. Appeasement never works.
Exactly. I would spit down on the non voters but dont want to waste the liquid on them
