If you think about it, not voting in 30s Germany directly contributed to at least half of Germany turning Communist, so who's to say it wasn't the right call?

Lol it's actually kind of awesome how much they hate us for refusing to be shamed into voting for the senile rap/cist and his sneering cop sidekick

if the children are screaming and mad about the president it won't be like 2011 again and if we can't make it like 2011 again why are we even voting

I think it's more they're terrified of four more years of Trump - not because of any potential material loss to themselves but rather the cognitive toll it'll take on them. Trump makes a mockery of everything they care about. Trump is a mirror showing this country to be the joke that it is. So, if you don't want to vote for Blue Trump you are forcing them to face the possibility of four more years of TROMP! and they lash out bigly.

I like how they put a bunch of academic jackoffs that haven't thrown a brick in their entire life, a social democrat, and some stream rear end lenin-misquoting rear end influencer all the way to the left and the noble nojoe to the right. it doesn't really work if you flip it around because then it becomes painfully obvious it's a bunch of loving libs being scolds. last I loving checked the captain of team communism isn't noam loving chomsky

I was talking about something like this with my friend the other day - Trump is openly and blatantly destroying the USPS explicitly so that absentee voting is impossible and only the far more easily gamed electronic voting machines are used. He's nakedly rigging the election. And yet, liberals are so married to the concept of American exceptionalism, that they refuse to admit such a thing will defeat them, because that sort of underhanded tactic doesn't work on Americans. So they lose, put their hands in their pockets and kick a pebble, and resolve to next time use the completely honorable and definitely not-at-all compromised invincible procedure of American democracy, the freest and most just of all forms of democracy, to unseat the guy who is literally having mailboxes ripped out of the ground to prevent people from voting, because they refuse to admit that ACTUALLY AMERICA FUCKIN SUCKS

What's even dumber about their whinging is that covid and the dismantling of the USPS are going to have a much bigger effect on the election than any amount of leftists voting for Howie or not voting. They're vote shaming as a masturbation aid.

They're vote shaming the left because that's what you do
