They voted for a worse genocide.

In 2 different places no less and possibly more.

They just don't know it yet.

I’ve a feeling some of them know it. They’re just remaining here to maintain enough credibility to be believable during the next propaganda wave that’ll hit us once trump allows his boss to crater Kiev.

Last I checked Trump lost 3 million voters since last election, and Harris lost 10 million.

The couch won. It's not like people were suddenly won over by a person they've likely seen through 3 election cycles.

Great job couches, now your worst enemy is VP-elect.

[–] TinklesMcPoo@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Yea those couches are fucked now.

Right, which is why people are rightfully furious at those they didn't even bother to vote for the objectively better option

She didn't appear better. So telling people that did nothing.

I don't know why that's a hard concept, for so many. Lemmy liberals love to think they can tell people exactly what to do because they are obviously right.

It's smug and not effective and yet tactics don't change just berate harder.

Right, which is why people are angry at the people who couldn't even go vote for Harris

[–] NewDark@lemmings.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

But the poster claimed they voted for a worse genocide. I'm saying they didn't vote.

[–] lurklurk@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not voting for Harris was indirect support for worse genocide. Choosing to stay on the couch is still a choice, and this time that choice gave us Trump

[–] NewDark@lemmings.world 1 points 4 days ago

Well thankfully they also not voted for Trump which was indirect support for the better genocide.
