Look at who the USAmerican people voted for despite all their hate for the health insurance industry: a bunch of crooks that make the industry profitable on the backs of their voters.
People can't help themselves but vote against their interests.
just as neglecting to make a decision is still a decision, neglecting to vote is still a vote.
You're ignoring the many people who have been disenfranchised, their registration purged from the rolls at the last second, votes thrown out, intentionally giving certain areas only one voting location for many many people. There's tons of reasons why someone might not vote that are out of their control.
Obviously those people wouldn't fall under "neglecting to vote", now would they?
Exactly
You're saying that as if 90M had a legitimate reason not to vote.
Have you seen the state of American society? In case you didn’t hear it has got so bad we’ve got vigilantes killing CEOs
No, I heard nothing about that in a thread talking about the effect of such an action /s
Nobody with a modicum of critical thinking can seriously believe that all 90M non-voters tried everything to vote and just couldn't.
It's a blatant statement that they don't consider either candidate to be a legitimate choice.
2nd highest voter turnout in US history, stop claiming nobody voted for it.
Just like upgrading from eating scaps to eating fastfood, better doesn't mean good.
A crook who coincidentally said he could shoot somebody on the streets of manhattan and get away with it.
Now we know who killed the CEO!
That describes both parties. There's a reason none of the dems are taking advantage of this moment to show the overwhelming majority that they want the same things.
Both candidates were pro-institution. Let go of the delusion that Harris was somehow a champion of the people. She is the system. The only reason she got the amount of votes she did is because she was the only viable non-trump vote possible. The DNC tried to force another neo-liberal on us, and the people stayed home.
