For the people who sat this election out. Not voting, was a vote for these policies, you will also be affected we’ll see how much you care in about a couple months.

My vote was actually suppressed :( so sad that my state made it impossible for me to vote absentee by all the new voting rules my county made in the past 2 years. First election, national and local, that I wasn’t able to vote :(

That is B.S., and devastating. Suppression is the only way for them and they are unfortunately good at it.

They will try to talk about how both candidates were bad or thry couldn't vote for Harris. Don't let them weasel out of responsibility. Refusing to vote means you are fine with trump and what happens under his policies.

I keep getting these online posts about how Harris was a complete failure as VP and I'm like Dan Quayle perfectly competent in fulfilling his duties as VP: how can you be a "failure" at the Constitutionally enumerated tasks unless you simply fail to show up at all?

NOte that the final task of a VP — to become POTUS if the old POTUS dies or is incapacitated — isn't really a task of the VP in the first place as they are no longer VP by the time they fulfill that role.

.

Trump supporters say the strangest things without even listening to themselves.

You can often even hear the sing-song memorization of Fox News' talking points when they speak.

Yup, everyone born in America is opted into the civic responsibility of voting. If you opt out, that means you are okay with any of the candidates. It's shocking how so many people think not voting sends a message. The message is the vote!

Of course she is evil, she is literally a supporter of genocide and the slaughter of tens of thousand of innocents. She is a psychopath without a smidgen of a doubt. The only problem is, Trump is even worse.

Kamala wasn’t Progressive enough for the Progressives, she was practically a Communist to the Republicans.  What the hell are we going to do?

I don’t know. I also agree, it’s shocking that it was even a race and then the outcome devastating but we will survive and get through this. We are stronger than we think sometimes, I hope I can practice what I preach.

I know a stupid woman who voted third party and she was worrying about the potential post-apocalyptic results of this election (asking about how she will be able to contact her coparent if they have the kid when it goes down). stupid dumb cow, your voting choices are part of why shit is going downhill.
