Eat shit. I did everything I could to raise awareness. I campaigned, I went to places to talk to people in my community. I used proof, even videos of him saying the evil, vile shit that he said. Our community stayed dem, while our state stayed right. Theres only so much you can do when indoctrination and propaganda rule. You can piss in a bowl and freeze it, then put it in your lemonade you fuck-whit. You have no idea how much some of us tried. Fuck you.
lol. did you tell harris to fuck off on genocide? to fuck off on supporting corporate power? no? did you force harris to give people any reason to vote for her besides not trump? go look at her site again, read her actual policies. outside of the tax policy not a single one was going to do shit for working amercians. and the tax policy in no way compensates for inflation over the last 4 years. Would some of initiatives from the biden admin been nice tocontinue? like keeping khan in the FTC? yup! but every signal harris gave off was no, we wont be doing that anymore.
I dont ask you this to place blame on you personally. I'm doing it so you realize that it doesn't matter who trump is. it matters who is actually running on the democratic ticket. if the difference between the candidates is basically a rainbow lapel on their shirt its not going to get people out to support her.
stop 1) blaming people who didnt show up, 2) dont take the blame personally for harris', bidens, and the dnc's failings.
move on, work locally to find better candidates for your community.
If you had actually accomplished any of the deeds you claim, you never would have gotten all butthurt, realizing OP was addressing the people who did nothing but create voter apathy.
The fact that you did get butthurt, says everything.
No, they acted like nobody did anything. Some of us did everything we could. And fuck you for acting like we didn't do enough. What did you do? "Meh I posted memes on FB and argued with tankies." Fuck you too.
For what it's worth, I don't think anyone who is trying to discuss the election with you in good faith paints you as just another MAGA American. We know some Americans faught tooth and nail to stop this. Now you could be lying just as easily as you could be telling the truth, although I have no reason to think you are lying. So assuming you're telling the truth, as crushing as a second Trump presidency is for me, someone who doesn't live in the US, who literally can't do anything about him, it must be so much more worse for you.
I know you're tired but your fight against fascism is just beginning, it's far from over. I hope you can find the strength to keep going. As an outsider all I can do is tell you that some of us see you and know that you're not well right now. Gandalf put it best;
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
Thanks for the uplifting words kind stranger.
