This was NOT the time to do this. This election was about the end of fucking democracy in the face of fascism and these abstainers wanted to pull teenage shit and fucking ended the country as we know it.
Now Gaza is getting wiped out because these abstainers couldn’t abstract what a p2025 theocracy was going to do?
People were screaming about this for months. THIS election was an existential fight right now at home, and they chose to pull idealist teenage shit.
I mean, I place more of the blame for “ending the country” on the fascists and the people who enthusiastically put them into power, but if you want to blame the handful of people who abstained then you do you I guess
I agree, and I don’t care. It’s a distraction. These people didn’t move the needle an inch, and I think it’s ridiculous to worry about probably 0.5% of the electorate when there are tens of millions who actively support all this shit. Where is their accountability? Where is the accountability for the billionaires who have spent their fortunes attacking democracy? Those people are grinning ear-to-ear when they see their enemies trying to fight each other like this.
THIS election was an existential fight right now at home
Like they said, longtime Dems have been hearing this for at least the last few elections, if not longer than that. This messaging doesn’t work anymore, it’s crying wolf to many people

Abstaining is an active choice. For someone eligible to vote, there doesn’t exist an “I opt out of any accountability for the outcome” option.
It’s not though. In many states you literally need to leave work to vote. A choice which can cost you your job.

And now the wolf came.
The danger was real, unlike the dangers Republicans scream about. Why didn’t anybody tell THEM they’re crying wolf?
You never read that story, did you?
False flags mean nothing bad is happening, right?
Did you?
Every time Republicans got elected they did terrible things. Every time the warning was correct
In the story people are warned when nothing bad was coming, but Republicans have been led by evil people since at least Reagan
Republicans are the ones who was really calling wolf with all their fake panics, but nobody ever calls them out for it
