      And yet most of you couldn’t even be arsed to take a step against a criminal convicted rapist to be elected as your president.

      Sorry but that “most of us don’t” argument falls short when you don’t even do your basic civic duties to get rid of criminals.

          This shithouse argument again.

          They’re right, and they know more than you think. Especially when 30% of your voter base prove it every election.

          Neat, so you still went to work and acted like normal after you believed democracy was subverted

            The other option is starving and then being shot by the most militarized police force in the world, while nothing actually changes.

                What are you talking about? They are replacing their workforce with ai. Not that it’s really working out for them but they are deffo doing it.

                True, but also you can’t do anything if you’re dead, and these fucks are not the most competent, but they are violent and willing to cut off their own nose to spite their face.

                They would totally kill their own work force, thinking they could just replace them, until there’s no one left. And further, they have the guns and bodies to do it.

          Voter turnout was abysmal. 64.3%. Less than 2/3 of the country bothered to even vote.

          Don’t tell me that people voted when a third of those with the right to vote didn’t bother to go and fill a fucking ballot.

              Yeah. It’s an excuse you use, like a few others

              Ones you don’t afford countries that genuinely have voter suppression

              The very article you quoted accounts for ~10 million votes.

              The remaining 34% who didn’t vote is approximately 80 million people.

              So we’re still at a point where 70 million where content with whatever happened. 70 million didn’t even bother to stand up and cast their votes.

              (oh, and that’s not accounting for the shift the voter suppression would cause in the count of “eligible for voting” people).

                You still don’t understand voter suppression

                This is so confidently incorrect it’s hilarious

                  I do understand it.

                  You, however, seem to fail to grasp how it affects voter numbers and their analytics.

                    It’s the fall back excuse

                    ‘Don’t know, don’t understand’

                    It’s generally the first choice because it’s easy, lazy and doesn’t require further backup
