I still can't believe the folks talking about not voting kamala because they are all the same and biden did not do enough.
How many of them are astroturfing, and how many are delusional?
Lot of accelerationist takes on Lemmy, tbh. Literally "some men just want to watch the world burn" energy because they think they'll somehow emerge on top of the ashes.
Yeah I often wonder that. Was any of it real or attempts to encourage infighting?
I have no doubt that some of it was real, but it wasn't significant enough to swing an election.
Im not so sure of that. It would only have had to swing 3 very close states. It does not take much.
It wasn't all that close. Maybe it made a difference in Wisconsin, but I seriously doubt it would have swung any others.
wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania is what it would have took.
They seem to be really quiet if not not n existent these days.
I think you’re just not seeing them. I see a ton of them.
Some said they don't regret their vote or lack thereof
Mostly they are doubling down on it.
No shit. People spent months trying to "convince" them by shaming and berating them. It's just human nature to harden ones stance when met with that sort of onslaught. Especially when, lets face it, they had a point with Gaza. I don't agree with them, but the people who still won't shut up about it aren't helping.
Anyways, those (non)voters didn't swing the election. It was just the usual American voter apathy because of the usual pathetic Democratic candidate. Only Biden and Harris had it in their power to do something that would have made a difference.
Why do all lemmy dipshits see fascists consolidating and exercising power and still get mad at literally everyone else? You’re all useful idiots for this admin
