Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

You assume those who didn't vote, would vote for Harris. An unfounded assumption

Inaction makes you complicit. Not voting does not give you any moral high ground, especially when one of the people being voted for is a fascist. These people would rather let fascism run free and wait for a golden unicorn instead of making slow and steady progress with imperfect candidates.

More and more I remember Kreia telling The Exile that "apathy is death".

10 million less votes for Democrats and only 5000000 more votes for trump since last election. Yes I assume a large portion would have.

In states where they don't matter by in large. It's a weird complaint to be honest, of people didn't vote they either had a reason or weren't engaged and that isn't exactly their fault.

I'm sorry, but if I completely skip evaluating Harris to make this easier... I would vote for a box of pizza before tRump.

I think its ok if someone doesnt vote. I also think they forfeit their right to complain.
