Everything that’s coming: If you didn’t vote, you voted for it. If you voted Shill Stein, you voted for it. If you voted Trump and you “didn’t know it would be this way”, you’re as complicit as the non-voters and the boutique voters.
Deliberate ignorance, a lack of critical thinking, and the propaganda that you allowed to game your emotions were all at play here.
I'd respect a massive third party turnout vote, though. At least it shows there is an untapped and active voter base who will show up.
Not voting is just saying that you don't care. And there were several down ballot elections that were things that leftists say they care about, including ranked choice voting in several states.
I would have more respect for high voter turnout during state and local elections. Those are more important than the presidential election.
