The "truth" you've stated here, regardless of its basis in fact or not, is too complex for the average American.

I'm just saying. The majority of y'all voted for the leopards then bitched when the leopards ate your collective faces.

Majority of us did NOT vote for that. You can say a majority of voters did, but certainly not a majority of the citizens. Each party only got about ⅕ of the populations vote. 20% isn't a majority

At that point I feel like we're splitting hairs.

If you don't vote, you implicitly agree with whatever outcome is decided by those that do.

If you want your voice to be counted, you should go and vote.

And in saying that, I understand that some places are actively making it difficult for some people to actually submit their votes.... But the 3/5ths not voting, is not accounted for by that one difficultly.

That's cute. You still think voting means anything in the US lmao

If the average American doesn't understand it, then it is better to attempt to change that then it is to just lie about it. Lying about it makes the Democrats look like liars and cowards to those savvy enough to know the difference, when the truth makes them look plenty righteous. If they went with the true story, they would look good to those who are savvy and the summary that trickles down to the average American would still make them sound good while also teaching them to be slightly less ignorant.
