“There’ll be people that they’ll DM me like, ‘You see what your boy’s doing? You voted for this.’ I’m like, ‘I voted for none of this,’” he said. “He’s doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for. I want him to stop the wars—he’s funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget—he’s increasing it.”
No, buddy. You DID vote for this. You absolutely voted for ALL of this because everything Trump is doing now, he promised, and campaigned on. And you yourself noted he’s a Lying Liar that Lies. So you absofuckinglutely voted for all of what’s going on right now.
“When you feel like the status quo will do nothing and change nothing, you have way more of a longer leash for the outsiders’ ideas than you do the status quo’s ideas,” he said. “And I think that was the idea with Trump, who’s like, ‘Maybe he will stop these wars.’ No. ‘Maybe we will see what’s up with this Epstein s–t.’ No.”
Take it from somebody who grew up as the Shitgibbon did. He used you. Just like he’s used everyone else. You thought he’d expose himself as being a kiddy-diddler? Take the legal risk of being jailed, losing his whole Teflon schtick? Fuck no, that’s for the LITTLE people. Like you!!! And maybe you can wrap your head around this little fact. All politicians have their issues, mainly because the guy you pick is opposed by everyone else who wants the pie all to their own. But Trump is worse than most!
How you feel about people who abstained?
If their opinion didn’t matter to them then it doesn’t matter to me. They forfeit their voice, it means nothing regardless of how they feel about it. If you do nothing then you are nothing, if you decide that you don’t matter then I’m apt to agree.
They risked everything, and then played to lose. I blame them equally to trump supporters, if not a bit more since they clearly aren’t a bunch of brain damaged adult-age children like trump supporters are.
I guess the question at that point is, if you think Harris voters would be responsible for genocide, and nonvoters are responsible potentially even more than Trump voters, than there is no winning option. If you want to say democracy has become a lose/lose, fine, but I think it’s important we’re conscious of the fact we’re saying that. I don’t think everyone is responsible for the worst actions the people they voted for take in their capacity as public officials. I think it’s worthwhile to note that and give people grace in that regard. Because otherwise we end up deciding between voting for genocide, or not voting and still carrying blame for genocide, and people make the decision to just not directly vote for it.
I’m not saying Harris lost because of Gaza, but given the choice of being considered responsible for genocide because I voted for it or because I didn’t vote for it, I’d rather not vote for it. I want to note that I voted Harris, but I know people who abstained and it’s hard to reach them if we (the left) continue to claim that they’d be responsible for genocide either way.
