Yeah. Majority of the blame goes to non-voters. But the people on here were definitely calling for voting, just not against fascism.
I can blame non-voters too. They saw what was coming and didn’t do anything. I voted Harris in California, she was never at risk of losing my state. I even skipped an all republican blanket primary as both were supported by trump or his allies.
But Lemmy had no say in the election, even if all the users here voted third party in North Carolina. No matter how much a Tankie says “Both sides” they can’t influence the population like that.
Reddit thought it could get Ron Paul nominated and Bernie to win. Lemmy has even less users, and reddit didn’t affect anything there.
No say is an exaggeration, but I was expecting this to come down to a small number of votes in a small number of states. While, practically speaking, the chance of that being within the range of Lemmy’s userbase, much less the Lemmy userbase in that state, is small, it is not impossible. But it wasn’t even close.
I was prepared for the electoral college to disappoint me like this, but not the American electorate. Fuck’s sake.
I honestly was thinking Harris won the popular vote, EC took a while to decide. Instead it was rapid evidence of “Holy fuck, I hate being right about bad things.”
