    bothering to vote

    Ah yes the absolute lowest bar for civic participation and they still couldn’t reach it meanwhile Republicans are winning schoolboards across the country.

    I’m actually coming around to your side though, both sides aren’t the same, one of them is good at politics.

      Lol you realize you’re proving my point? You think it’s a sign that the politicians did something wrong that people literally can’t be bothered to stop obvious and imminent fascism. Funnier still, you claimed they cared but not voting wasn’t something they could blamed for.

      Of course voters should be expected to not care – it’s the Democrats job to make them — about the fire spreading in their homes. /s

        You don’t? You think politicians did their jobs? I think they’ve been asleep at the wheel for the last 4-5 decades.

        Funnier still, you claimed they cared but not voting wasn’t something they could blamed for.

        I never said they cared, the opposite in fact.

          You aren’t reachable. It’s beyond obvious that if people didn’t vote in this election, they’d literally never unless they specifically felt something about it was in it for them. You did say they cared but their show of apathy by not voting was justified, but it NEVER will be.

            beyond obvious that if people didn’t vote in this election, they’d literally never

            Except for the 10m people that voted for Biden in 2020 but sat this round out.

            You did say their apathy was justified, but it NEVER will be.

            Where did I say that? There’s plenty of blame to go around and non-voters will receive their share but right now we’re talking about the rich ruling class who were unable to form any coherent argument or defense against an openly fascist, 34-time convicted, rapist. If that doesn’t show what they bring to the table then I don’t know what does.

                Feel free, leftwing flailing doesn’t help anyone (see the last 70 years as proof)

                edit: Also funny you think I’m a centrist when I specifically called Harris a weak milquetoast pro-LE candidate.
