      Oh I thought it was the dumbfucks in the Democrat party who chose to run a shit campaign and marginalised their voters into not showing up while they focused on getting lobbying money and chasing right wingers fault 🤷

        Both things can be true at the same time; the world isn’t black and white - but various shades of grey.

        The Harris campaign was awfully milquetoast, but people’s indifference also played a major role.

      Implicitly. But if you look at the responses given in the article, I do not believe these people knew what they were choosing implicitly.

      So many of them seem to be rejecting the government as it is, and stupid as it may be, Trump republicans are the only ones filling that void.

        The Tea Party and Occupy Wallstreet were movements created to drag the parties into areas where they’d rebel against what voters perceived as a ruination of the country.

        One of them got their party switched out for heroes of their movement, the other was arrested en masse.

        This is all you need to know

        I mean besides that fact that the former thought black people where ruining the country and the latter blamed the fact that no one can fucking afford food or housing.
