70% of registered votes showed up in CA. The basically voted 60 / 40 in favor of Harris.

60% of 70% is only 42%. So the other 58% spoiled their vote or outright support Trump.

Oh, you’re right, it was actually 57% of registered voters in California that refused to vote against him and vote for Kamala.
Just because you live in a system doesn’t mean that voting absolves you of all blame for the current crisis. You’re still an American and you still indirectly support American foreign policy.
Americans having to pay a fraction of what Europeans or the global south has to pay for gas is completely fair. The US started this war. At the very least, the 57% of you who encouraged this behavior might change their mind after this pain.
There is too much apathy in the US. You can’t just live in a bubble and pretend everything will be OK while World War 3 is starting.
