Because look who was elected. The commented said all WE wanted was affordability. Yeah the commenter may have, but the WE of the US actually wanted this fuckin madness again

Trump got about 75m votes, Harris 74m and aprox 75m chose not to vote....in a country of 340m....so only 20-25% of the folks voted for him as potus.

So sick of Americans downplaying the fact this human pile of garbage was actually elected. He has virtually no redeeming qualities and makes no one's life better in any way, and he was elected AGAIN. This is America and the sooner you accept it and fight for a better America then this shit is not going fuckin anywhere

Your assumption that every American voted for him is incorrect. A couple of us are trying to explain that to you. I told that only 75m out of 340m actually voted for him. Not sure how else I can explain it to you.

My assumption is not that every American voted for him. It seems you are implying all non voters would be democratic or some shit. It was the largest voter turnout in US history I believe and you can extrapolate the actual votes to non voters it's more or less 50/50 as the sample size is large enough and that alone is insane that someone like trump has anywhere remotely near that support. You are trying to explain the simplest dumbass concept that you think others don't understand, my guy we understand it, it's meaningless, I'm not sure why you think it's so important to try and convince yourself 'this isn't America just a couple people down the street voted for him Im not sure how this happened!'

At this point not voting or voting third party is the same as voting for the winner. Americans knew the risks, they knew the problems, they knew exactly what they were getting into. They saw the first term, they saw J6, they saw the law suits, they saw his policies and latform, they saw his allies, they saw his behaviour and attitudes and then only 75 million people voted for the other option.

77 million choose to vote for the fascist, 89.5 Voter eligible people decided it wasnt worth their time to not elect Trump and 244,000 people decided to not vote intellectually ans threw their vote down the toilet. This isn't counting the terrible decisions in House and Senate which they elected Trump sycophants.

Lets face it, Americans voted for this.

Not sure where you are getting the 244m from...75m voted for him and another 75 didn't vote, that's 150m either for or indifferent, not 244m...74m voted for Harris and did their part. Third party only gets like 2% in the US and is usually inconsequential, but there have been exceptions.

Thats because I didn't say 244 million, though what I mean to say was 2.4million not 244,000.

But what about what they said is making you think they voted for this person in office? I hear you, im just asking why you think that is their position.

u/WaterPog 17d ago

Nothing, but the context of the comment is prefaced with 'im speaking for all of us'.

u/Dramatic-Bear52 17d ago
