    Actually yes they did vote trump, studies show that only 20% voted harris. Not to mention the article quite literally is quoting these folks’ justification for voting trump. The remainder was split between the green party (you know that party that doesn’t do ANY down ballot initiatives and only shows up in swing states in presidential elections) and trump.

    This is ignoring the fact that not voting in a swing state is pretty much the same thing as voting for the other person because the race is so close.

    It didn’t help trump directly but it did help him win.

      Despite breathless accusations by idiots, not voting does not equal a vote for the other side.

          Nope. Hold on, let’s wait a minute and see… Still no.

          It turns out that you have to earn your votes in a democracy. I know that seems weird but it’s true.

            You’re using a strawman here. Man, why are logical fallacies so pervasive here? Never said you don’t need to earn votes. I said that not voting for a candidate in a two party duopoly in a swing state is the same as actually voting for candidate because the race is so close. You’re welcome to try again though.

              No it’s a conspiracy, I asked time very nicely if I could use them as part of my joke.

              And I am sorry if I went over your head but let me keep this simple. I don’t owe the Democratic party shit. If they aren’t worth voting for then people aren’t going to vote. And that’s nobody’s problem but the Democratic party. It’s not a vote for Trump, or Hitler, or the lizard people. Only a vote for them is a vote for them. And telling people they must vote for the Democrats or else they’re a dirty fascist is ridiculous. They’re going to laugh at you. And rightly so.

      As opposed to how many Trump voters and how many non/third party voters?

            They didn’t answer the question. Or they answered only the bit that backs their point and ignored the question.

            How many people didn’t vote is the more important metric here.

            Also using the phrase sea lioning for people pointing out that genociding a requisite party of a winning coalition in a swing state is bad electoral strategy is both pathetically sad, and disgusting.

            Genocide is not something that can be sea looked, and if you think it is then you’re perfectly fine with genocide.

              Sorry. My bad, the sea lioning is actually occuring in this comment I replied to.

              for people pointing out that genociding a requisite party of a winning coalition in a swing state is bad electoral strategy is both pathetically sad, and disgusting.

              Yet another bad faith strawman. For fucks sake lemmy, you all can’t be this bad at debating, quite amazing.

              Genocide is not something that can be sea looked, and if you think

              What a stupid thing to say, you can 100% sea lion about anything including genocide (hello? Holocaust deniers, Moron)

              And they did answer the question you asked. Perhaps of you weren’t lazy and actually wrote out two sentences, it might not have been overlooked. The voter turnout was about 50% (53%) which was less than national average.

                You actually need to learn the various types of logical fallacies. Just calling everything strawmanning just makes you look like a Raman that started, but didn’t finish, Logic 101.

                You’re also not worth more than two sentences.
