    Kalama lost bc voters for who voting is a real burden didn’t show up to vote. They are poor and likely people of color. Fuck off with blaming people.

      Hey I’ll likely be fine. Better off than the people you identified in your comment.

      I’m a cis white male who makes ~$250k/yr.

      The ones who sat at home are likely going to be much worse off.

      At least it’s gonna be very hard to make the brain dead “both sides” argument over the next 4 years.

            See you in 2028 when the Dem or Rep wins again.

            appeal to futility, false dichotomy 🤓

              Funny. I was told that was a false dichotomy before the most recent election too.

              Somehow I just continue being proved right. This is my cross to bear.

                    Cherry picking, I said it was an appeal to futility, as well as a false dichotomy. There’s plenty of other outcomes besides one of the two warmonger parties winning- like elections get cancelled due to Biden launching nukes on Jan 6 '25 to stop the steal. Just because one of the shitty parties is obviously going to win it’s still a worthwhile endeavor to oppose them, rather than just accepting whatever garbage they serve up.
