This was NOT the time to do this. This election was about the end of fucking democracy in the face of fascism and these abstainers wanted to pull teenage shit and fucking ended the country as we know it.
Now Gaza is getting wiped out because these abstainers couldn’t abstract what a p2025 theocracy was going to do?
People were screaming about this for months. THIS election was an existential fight right now at home, and they chose to pull idealist teenage shit.
I mean i agree and being angry is justified, just the time to do something for the dems was twice in the last couple decades when they had supermajorities…
Im pissed off too, i’m very likely losing my job because of all this federal fund fuckery. I’m stressed out and having pretty severe executive disorder over it. Work is on fire and i have to find a new job now. In terrified that the US will engage in an imperialist expansion again. That we’ll have the night of long knives 2, or Auschwitz 2 or what the fuck other Nazi bullshit you want to reference.
I’m still not blaming the people who didn’t vote. I’m blaming the people who did, the ones who voted FOR this. I’m blaming trump and elon and their cronies. I’m past disappointment in the Democratic party and i lay the choice of people not to vote at their feet.

Like they said, longtime Dems have been hearing this for at least the last few elections, if not longer than that. This messaging doesn’t work anymore, it’s crying wolf to many people
I mean, I place more of the blame for “ending the country” on the fascists and the people who enthusiastically put them into power, but if you want to blame the handful of people who abstained then you do you I guess

And now the wolf came.
The danger was real, unlike the dangers Republicans scream about. Why didn’t anybody tell THEM they’re crying wolf?

Abstaining is an active choice. For someone eligible to vote, there doesn’t exist an “I opt out of any accountability for the outcome” option.
It’s not though. In many states you literally need to leave work to vote. A choice which can cost you your job.
