    Are y’all still fucking crying about a demographic that was too small to change the result?

    Since y’all failed on your own and will probably continue to do so maybe try joining us next time! Our moment offers real change, honestly I think you’ll like it far better.

      What change are you offering? Real question. Because I don’t see Dems lifting people up. Maybe a college loan gift, if you’re lucky. Nothing else in the real world.

        Show me how Kamala could’ve won the presidency if all the third party voters swapped to her.

          I don’t have to because third party voters are free to throw their votes away like they always have.

          90 million eligible Americans didn’t vote.

          90,000,000 voters.

          there were only 150 million votes cast.

          I know you’re bad at math, but anyone can see where the problem is.

            Lmao the post is about protest voters not non-voters.

            Non-voters are too big and diverse a group to slot into any single issue.

              You’re not very smart, pal. Conservatives are disliked widely. People who aren’t conservative are difficult to motivate. Do you see how this works?

              Vocal protest voters created non-viters and turned blue votes into protest votes. “He didn’t die from poison, he died from organ failure…cause by the poison”

                I’ll let the chart speak for me.

                I mean, clearly you have attempted that, but I fear it was unsuccessful.

        I have no idea what this is about because it’s not in a thread. Perhaps I missed how to link context.

        If you mean joining .world, no. I don’t want that.

          Perhaps its your instance or client, but it is definitely in a thread. It is a direct response to a comment that says,

        They’re so eager to have us join their cause, yet when we asked them to take a single day out of their lives to defend the basic human rights of minorities in the US, they said “Too much trouble.”

        No vote “works” if you don’t have enough of them. It’s kinda the defining feature of voting.

        What definitely doesn’t work is trying to force voters to choose between “crumbling, already bad status quo” and “rapid fall into fascism” over and over. It’s just not a great motivator.

              So… protest votes don’t work. Got it. Thanks. I knew it was one or the other.

                lmao what

                With that logic Dems don’t work cause they lost this once, and so should never be voted for again.

                But hey guess what I got something else to vote for anyway! And we can maybe not even call it a protest vote and just call it a… vote.

                  So… protests votes DO work. I must have been confused earlier. I think I understand now.

                  Protests vote when you’re not getting the perfect outcome, and everyone else can kindly insert themselves under the that bus headed this way.

                  Super fantastic! Thanks for clearing this up. Again, I knew it was one or the other.
