Maybe pick a candidate that people want to vote for next time
You vote based on the choices you're presented, not the ones you like. Like it or not a no vote is a vote one way or another.

I still see them around. But it will be really quiet in January and February.
Had nothing to do with it.. or at least insignificantly. The Dems on a platform of "were not him" and the economy is booming.. while people where hurting and got shafted by the wave of devaluation.. people are angry.. and the let's keep going on the same path and change nothing and so nothing party did not get people out to vote.
It's possible the idea that they ran a "not Trump" campaign is true enough, and that was part of the failure vs. being more to the left or vocal or any number of other things suggested. But the very fact that "not Trump" made people not show up and throw the election to him, or worse vote FOR him, says a lot about the state of the country.
I get it, people are hurting economically and somehow get blinded into promises that magic will happen. But Trump? Anyone voting this time around was around when he was in office the first time...are we that short memory? Yeah, we apparently are...repeating the same thing over and over expecting different results. And that can be applied to both sides, but one of them was the same guy.

"Their votes alone didn't swing the election" and "Their actions were the opposite of helpful in preventing genocide" can both be true.
Can it?
If their votes didn't swing the election, how were they harmful? Or whatever you mean by "the opposite of helpful"?
This is like saying "my vote doesn't matter, it's not like the candidate I would have voted for lost by a single vote"

*I voted for future genocide instead of present genocide.
I voted for ~~future~~ more genocide instead of present genocide.
And a much higher probability of the once unthinkable - genocide happening in the homeland.

I haven't seen them go quiet.
I haven't seen a single one of them get a post on the Hot page of lemmy since election day, but they sure came out to this comments section!
Me either.
