I will get mad at the 15 million stay-at-home non-voters due to a single-issue before i consider getting mad at the Dems for not caressing these people on their single-issue.
I will get mad at the 15 million who never learned of the phrase “Lesser of two evils”, who thought that by not voting they are making some sort of brave statement on morals.
Suck it up, there were 2 choices: Genocide, with high chance of progress away from Genocide Genocide with bonus destruction, and no chance of steering away from any of it
It’s literally the trolley problem, and people that didn’t vote just didn’t pull the lever and have let mass destruction happen.
I am not apologizing genocide, I am simply criticising people that voted for Genocide + More by not going to vote at all.
The morally right choice was to reduce harm as much as possible, and that was only viable if voting with Kamala. By otherwise not voting or going independent (In a place like U.S. where an independent vote is basically a waste), you’re just letting the fascism push more.
But again, these people can at least sleep easier at night knowing they didn’t vote for anyone doing genocide. They simply facilitated genocide + everything bad to seep through and win.
Trying to only blame the dems for the civic duty failure of 15 million people is insane in my opinion. In other countries you just vote with the candidate you like the most, even if they won’t see eye to eye with you on some issues, it’s not some “oh I will only vote if these candidates win me over!”. You either vote because you agree with someone ideologically, or you vote because there’s Hitler on the ballot and Jesus Christ you do not want Hitler to win, even if the candidate you voted for will only give Israel more weapons. Otherwise you let Hitler win and now there are two genocides occuring instead of just one.
