They voted for him. For the second time.
It is their fault.
Did they, though? Or has a generational institution of gerrymandering and targeted voter suppression simply become insurmountable?
Gerrymandering has no impact on general elections though
You’re right, controlling how local governments elect representatives and spend money and disseminate media narratives has absolutely no outcome on general elections.
Totally.
Right. That’s why they do it.
or it was the opposition party putting up a shitty worthless candidate that was never going to win.
because the democratic party is total delusional when it comes to understanding the issues American face and are concerned about. the republicans aren't.
the republicans lie though. but most human beings would rather be lied to and listened to, than ignored and told to suck it up because they have it 'so good'.
Sure. Let's go with that.
'Americans are dumb sheep with no critical thinking abilities' is surely a defence.
Do yourself a favor and google the terms “gerrymandering” and “voter suppression”. You clearly don’t have any idea what they are from your response.
Still doesn't change the fact that a third of voters chose him and another third stayed home. Keep externalising the blame though.
Oh look, another brainless clapping seal happily engaging in tribalism and ignorant guilt by association!
You think you're so much better while using the EXACT train of thought Republicans use, who support Trump.
Good job being exactly what you hate!
Rest of the world was ready to look over Trump's win in 2016 but not anymore. He's your democratically elected leader who got even more votes this time around.
Fuck the fuck off.
lol not any more? What are you going to do about it, boy?
Oh that's right, nothing but whine and slander Americans on the internet.
critical thinking skills typically are only present in a tiny minority of the population of any society or nation.
He lost the popular vote. Both times.
No, just the first and second times. He actually got more votes last year than Harris.
That still doesn't defeat my point because it wasn't over 50%. Even if every single American voted with the same percentages, it STILL would not be a majority of Americans that voted for him.
Thusly, to blame ALL Americans is nothing but ignorant guilt by association.
I know. But don't say things that are just factually wrong in an argument like this. It gives your opponent (who isn't me, by the way) ammunition.
All those that did not vote supported fascism. ‘All that is required by evil is that ordinary people do nothing.’
Millions of people did more than nothing. More people voted against Trump than for him.
Today I learned that 75 millions is larger than 77 millions.
Is that what they teach in American schools?
He won less than half. Of a small percentage who did vote.
Is that what you've been taught? Less than 50% means you can slander 100%? Fucking bigoted fool.
Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and 2020 which is probably what they were thinking of. Maybe don't assume someone is a moron when they're technically correct but say it confusingly. We're all lucky our brains work at all given all the bullshit we have to keep track of related to dictator cunt known as Trump.
You know most people didn't vote for him, right?
Most people either voted for him or didn't vote at all. It's all the same to rest of the world. Fuck Americans.
Oh yeah? Come and fuck me then. You won’t. Coward.
Yeah, let's all fuck this person.
Yeah! Let's fuck 'em.
Cool so you like collective punishment? Fuck that Geneva convention?
