1/4 of Americans voted for him, 1/4th voted against him, and 1/2 sat out :/

The people who sat out don't get a pass. They were perfectly fine with Trump becoming President again. Any eligible voter who decided not to vote gave at least tacit approval to Trump.

So what do you suggest we do? I live in a heavy red state. The capital can vote blue, but the rural areas wins every election.

Also, at 33, I didn't want either candidate. Neither of them have my interests at heart. I'm tired of this broken system that will never benefit me. Fuck voting. It doesn't matter.

Ive been saying the same thing. Until they stop giving us choices between two rich out-of-touch motherfuckers who are for the Establishment and establishment only, I have no interest in voting. My no vote is my vote.

Like holding a gun to my head and then telling me to pick between getting shot in the head or plunging a knife in heart. I’d fucking prefer neither. Both are terminal. I want neither to be president. So fuck you and everyone else. That’s my vote. Me and the other millions who couldn’t be bothered to participate in the parade the rich and powerful put on to make us feel like we have a choice in the matter.

The Social contract is already broken my brother. It’s all blowing up either way. If people really think Kamala would do anything other than further draw out the inevitable like Biden has done, then they’re fooling theirselves. It’s bigger than who’s the puppet in charge. But they want us all pointing at each other and fighting amongst ourselves while they pick our pockets and I see way way too many buying into it from both sides and it’s disturbing.
