    Fuck you, that wasn’t why Trump won. It was because Dems offer nothing but the avoidance of something worse.

    I’m outraged at the genocide and voted for Biden anyway. People can be mad at Dems and demand better without being responsible for their failure.

      The American people failed.

      This was fucking advertised. This was chosen. This was voted for.

      Stupidest populous on earth.

        I’m with you until the last sentence. Fewer than 50% of American voters voted for Trump.

        How is any of this “chosen” when everything is gerrymandered and rigged?

        Our biggest fault was being the frog who stayed in the water while it was heating up. We have just slowly been giving up freedoms with a little fuss but not enough to matter. We need to learn to say no firmly and with conviction.

          Anyone downvoting you is an idiot. This is exactly the situation the American people have been in.

          Gerrymandering doesn’t exist in your presidential election.

          The majority of Americans supports - or at the very least is neutral towards - Trump. You can blame this on a lot of factors such as misinformation and lack of education but this doesn’t change the general attitude.

            Something like 49% of eligible voters voted for Trump. And many eligible voters don’t vote. So no, factually, you are incorrect. A lot of people here are too poor to give a shit about politics and are completely unengaged.
