When eighty million Americans sat out the election they sent a pretty clear message that they're okay with whatever Trump and Co wants to do.
No, they sent a message saying "Both of these choices suck, badly."
They sent a message saying "Both of these choices suck by exactly the same amount. I have no preference".
How can you win a war, when you lack the strength to grit your teeth and choose the lesser evil? Will you stamp your fists on the ground and demand no evil, while the greater evil slaughters your people? How many lives of your tribesmen will you give in order to send your message to the Democrats?
No, more like "both of these people should be tried for crimes against humanity, so I support neither"
As far as "how do I win a war" it starts with not supporting a capitalist, because as long as they have power, the working class will be oppressed.
You have power! You are responsible! You need to use that power. You need to make active choices in the world.
Yes, we have power, which we can use to toss off the chains of the oppressors, and seize the means of production.
Ready to help?
I didn't choose this username for no reason
So, ready to do more than just vote?
I have no interest in entertaining your false dichotomy.
Well, it's two years to the next federal vote.
What are you going to do in the meantime?
Figure it out yourself.
I've been doing what I plan to do for the next 2, 4, 8, 20 years: work to build just systems, that dont rely on the state to meet the material needs of the working class in my community.
So, again, what are you doing?
There you go. You figured it out. I did all that, and one more day on top of it. It only takes one day to vote.
Bo, the6 sent the message of "both of these are atrocious human beings, so I will support neither "
By choosing neither they threw their full support behind the winner which was Trump.
There is blood on their hands from the choice they made.
I always find it telling when someone blames the people who couldn't stomach to vote for an openly corrupt, genocidal party, instead of blaming the leadership of the party for being openly corrupt and genocidal.
There were two choices and by not being able to see that reality they helped the worse choice get power.
Well, there were a few choices, not two. They also didn't "help", by definition. They sat back and watched. And while I disagree with standing back and watching, I can't blame them for looking at a shit-sandwich, and a shit-sandwich with sprinkles and deciding not to waste their time on either.
There were two choices.

I'm seeing 4, and you can write in a candidate
The person who got the third most votes, how many did they get?
861,164
Any other basic reading that you want me to do for you?
So basically even if they got all of Harris’s vote they still wouldn’t have won?
There were two choices.
Yes to the first part, no to the second. I don't understand how this is difficult to understand.
I see that.
