    Throwing your vote in the trash is a vote for garbage, and garbage won by a landslide.

    The garbage voters really hate to hear it.

      And liberals really hate to hear that the democrats ran a garbage campaign. Shit goes both ways my dude. Expand your viewpoint and try to consider why someone would be unable to vote for Harris instead of calling them idiots.

        It’s possible that both Trump voters, and the people that self-identify as leftist that didn’t vote for Kamala are BOTH idiots.

          You pretend the campaign was stuck on rails, unable to steer away, but Harris could have and should have steered away from running everyone over. But she chose the direction, didnt she. So itt was never a trolley problem. Thats just a poorly constructed, self serving metaphor.

            You’re arguing about the color of the trolley after it’s been covered in blood.

            The choice was between a hard fight back to the left with an ally, or regressive accelerationism disguised by lies as “change”.

            You made your choice, enjoy your fucking blood.

              And nobody can say that they didn’t know, as I know I probably lost a year of my life repeating the same arguments over and over again to people. pleading with them to vote for Harris.

              I am not a Liberal. I’m not the biggest fan of the Democratic Party. I am also not a fucking moron, and I have a firm grasp on geopolitical history.

              I would like it if people stopped generalizing that all leftists are idiots who sat out or voted third party.

        I wholely and completely reject every premise you propose here.

        1. Everyone who voted for Kamala knew it was a shit campaign. She started what like 100 days before the election? It’s incredible she ran a campaign at all! No one hates to hear this, it’s reality, and everyone knew it was coming the second Biden stepped down.

        2. Shit does not go both ways. Shit comes out of your ass, sometimes your mouth, and should never go the other way. If you are having medical issues where shit regularly goes both ways, please go see a doctor.

        3. Every single point against Kamala, except for one, is a worse point for our new dear orange leader. Want less skeletonized Palestinian kids? You definitely don’t want Trump in office. If you did anything to help that asshole become our new dear leader, then you absolutely didn’t give a shit about Palestine. OR, and here’s the real point, you believed some combination of bespoke bullshit convincing your absolutely dead brain you were making a good choice. And that assumes you’re even being genuine, and no trolling or shilling. If it was the latter (and it was absolutely the latter, don’t lie) then you’re an idiot.

        No one was “unable” to vote for Kamala. It made them uncomfortable. If they had read anything from outside their echo chamber, maybe they could have worked past that. Some of them decided to not vote at all, or vote third party, and all that did was make it easier for her to lose.

        Still at least you contribute to the conversation. The real tragedy is all those millions that looked up from TikTok when they saw a Mariah Carey meme just long enough to realize it’s not October anymore and oh look an ad…
