        And yet most of you couldn’t even be arsed to take a step against a criminal convicted rapist to be elected as your president.

        Sorry but that “most of us don’t” argument falls short when you don’t even do your basic civic duties to get rid of criminals.

              You have used “arse” and “fuck ye” but whatever.

              I’ve looked through your comments and we have more in common than not.

              If you don’t understand that our government is occupied and we have been in a confirmed oligarchy for over a decade, then stop shitting on all Americans, please

                Oh, so now my verbiage decides my nationality?

                I don’t give a damn about your govt being occupied. You had a chance of NOT electing a confirmed kid diddler rapist racist piece of shit, but you didn’t because “Kamala won’t say Israel bad”. That’s on you, period.

                    Most Americans clearly didn’t care enough to get up and vote against Trump, if anything at all.

                    Inaction towards injustice is approval of said injustice.

            This shithouse argument again.

            They’re right, and they know more than you think. Especially when 30% of your voter base prove it every election.

              The other option is starving and then being shot by the most militarized police force in the world, while nothing actually changes.

                  True, but also you can’t do anything if you’re dead, and these fucks are not the most competent, but they are violent and willing to cut off their own nose to spite their face.

                  They would totally kill their own work force, thinking they could just replace them, until there’s no one left. And further, they have the guns and bodies to do it.

                  What are you talking about? They are replacing their workforce with ai. Not that it’s really working out for them but they are deffo doing it.

            Voter turnout was abysmal. 64.3%. Less than 2/3 of the country bothered to even vote.

            Don’t tell me that people voted when a third of those with the right to vote didn’t bother to go and fill a fucking ballot.

                The very article you quoted accounts for ~10 million votes.

                The remaining 34% who didn’t vote is approximately 80 million people.

                So we’re still at a point where 70 million where content with whatever happened. 70 million didn’t even bother to stand up and cast their votes.

                (oh, and that’s not accounting for the shift the voter suppression would cause in the count of “eligible for voting” people).

                  You still don’t understand voter suppression

                  This is so confidently incorrect it’s hilarious

                    Just report, block, and move on. They aren’t from here, they’re either unwilling or unable to hear you out, and no one is going to say anything to them that will earnestly make them change their mind. What is this, 2007? Why are we still doing flame wars? Don’t feed the trolls, they don’t deserve your attention.

                    I do understand it.

                    You, however, seem to fail to grasp how it affects voter numbers and their analytics.

                Yeah. It’s an excuse you use, like a few others

                Ones you don’t afford countries that genuinely have voter suppression
