Given the binary choice, much if the American people simply didn't vote. You can't present a false dichitomoty, and then act as if any downstream choice is full approval.
- vkou 2y agoThey always had the choice of not voting. The people who voted for this actively engaged and endorsed it. It strains credulity for them to claim ignorance.
- sudosysgen 2y agoPlenty of Americans chose not to vote, many others did mainly out of massive social pressure.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoNot voting is a choice. It's a choice for "I don't care how this train moves, I'm moving with it". So yes, those non-voters tacitly approved of the idea of Trump being elected. They didn't hate it enough to get to the polls. Those who thought "nothing would change no matter what"... well nothing has changed I guess. I suppose Harris would have done mass deportation raids and cutting funding from science and healthcare at all, right?
- School-Cotton 2y agoI lived in New York during the election, nothing would have changed regardless of who I voted for, because New York went to Harris anyway. So in my case, “nothing would change no matter what” was objectively true.
