      If she would’ve not made anything different, how was this then a reason to vote orange?

      I mean Mister T makes a lot things worse than, I suppose, Kamala would have, especially within USA (makes live harder for minorities, gives too much power to cooperations, doesn’t do what he says / says anything he believes wants to be heard no matter the facts, tear families appart, etc.)

      Or have I understood something wrong?

        It’s a reason to sit out the election, which is moreso what happened. Democrats lost about 11mil voters, Republicans lost 3mil. Numbers might be off given some fraction has been counted. General concept is solid.

          I see the result as more “left” people of them who know the USA election are awful, are to dumb to see that they make it even worse by not voting (since in a 2 party setup not voting = voting for the other)

          I see a bigger chance in fixing democracy without violence with dems in power compared to with rebs in power.

          But this is just a view from an outsider.

            Sick, so my non-vote for Trump was a vote for Kamala. And my non-vote for Kamala was a vote for Trump!

            Looks like I’m so cool I’m doing election fraud! (I voted PSL fwiw).

            Liberals are so funny thinking the system isn’t geared fully towards capital interest and there’s a chance you can bend it to work at the behest of workers is so funny. You’re adorable.

      I think that line of thinking either heavy cope or just bad faith politics circl jerk,

        I said they would be the same on Israel/Palestine (or mostly indistinguishable anyway), not claiming one would be better or worse there.

        You won’t win people over by blaming voters sitting this one out for not co-signing a geonicide.
