86 million people did not vote, so they were ok with him too. you can't just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence.

given that it’s america, some portion of those couldn’t vote because they couldn’t get time off work, were purged from voter rolls, etc

i wouldn’t say most, but some

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I agree one-day elections on a Tuesday where we don't even get off work is stupid and should change. But there are more options for voting early/by mail.

Or they don't live in a swing state...

How much did you donate to the Harris campaign? How much time did you spend volunteering for it. You can't just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence, after all.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can actually, since I'm not eligible to vote in the US. even if i were and didn't, that's not even in the same universe as not voting.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So you didn't donate? You didn't knock on doors? You can’t just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence!

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't live in the US, nor am I from there, you slowpoke.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Ok? So? Why didn't you donate anyway. Why didn't you fly to the US and help with the campaign? You can’t just watch a fascist get elected and claim innocence!

[–] appelkooskonfyt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why should people donate to a campaign? Honest question, in my country we don't do that.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 days ago

To help it win? The same reason you should vote for it?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

dude shut the fuck up you're so bad at this

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Damn, you really have no counter argument, do you.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

no because for that there would have to be an argument to counter. stupidity isn't an argument.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 days ago

Lol. You're so bad at this

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Voting is more than not voting whatever whataboutism you spew.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 days ago

Wow, so you didn't think stopping fascism justified more than just voting in a non-swing state?
