Literal millions of us (myself included) voted “correctly” for Harris. Blue no matter who. We did our part for your petty ass purity test and we’re still getting fucked.
Must be nice to live in a world where people only experience the results of who they voted for.
Dude, I’m from the US. I know. But the fact of the matter is that there’s shittons of poor people who voted for Trump, and they’re the ones most at risk
Eh, I voted third party. Why? Because my vote literally doesn’t matter in my state, since Trump took it with >20% margin. Votes only really matter in like 8 states because the rest have enough straight ticket voters to secure the election for one of the candidates. And in those 8 or so states, the misinformation was real, so it’s understandable that many people didn’t know what they were getting with their vote, they just voted based on whatever smear campaign made them hate the other candidate more.
IMO, the fault here lies w/ Kamala Harris for running a mediocre campaign promising the “status quo” when most people wanted real change. If she ran a more interesting campaign with actual plans regular people could understand, maybe she could’ve cut through the noise and reached enough people to win.

Tens of millions of us voted against it and did our best to convince those around us.
On the whole, we deserve what we’re getting. We asked for it. I just hope the rest of the world doesn’t forget that so many of us tried.
