    Even the far left is stupid in America. They’re supposed to be the educated ones. But instead of doing their civic duty, they stayed home. And you can blame it on Democrats all you like, but it’s your duty to go vote, no matter who you vote for. The turnout this election was pathetic.

    I don’t understand how these people are going to complain now for the next 4 years, when they didn’t even want to take part.

      She got 14 millions less votes than Biden.I doubt there are even 10 million far leftists in the USA.

      Do you have anything to back this up, or is this typical Democrat blaming people they never tried to appeal to?

      It is absolutely fucking infuriating how many people disagree with your assessment here but you are absolutely 100% right as fuck.

        Ok this line of thinking is pissing me off.

        As of this right now the turn out is 140,144,378 and counting (it will be weeks before the final number).

        If we look at the last 90 or so years we can see that this “sad turnout” is the second highest only behind 2020s 158,481,688.

        Good chance there isn’t going to be a next time, dude. It’s hard not sounding hyperbolic when saying things like “its the end of the world” but the next four years were CRITICAL to climate change, and we’ve voted to pour even more gas all over it. We don’t even have violent resistance to fall back on. The ‘progressives’ who stayed home this election because they couldnt hold their nose and vote for harris? Have damned us all. They’re just as much to blame for whats about to happen as the pathetic campaign harris was running.

        It doesn’t matter if we’re fracturing the left. There was never any unity there in the first place.

          I think it was the Trump voters that did that, actually.

      Democrats didnt want people voting. This was the year of fighting against ballot access. They directly disenfranchised so many people.
