"do Canadian liberals know half the country didn't vote"

In normal societies, this is considered an indictment, not an excuse.

It’s crazy how we expect more accountability from a toddler that just bit their sibling than from fully grown adults with high school diplomas and the internet

scruffopone.bsky.social•32 days ago

"Do they not know?!"
Like do these Americans not know that we in Canada also have dogshit voter turnout? It's not an excuse.

malavolpe.bsky.social•32 days ago

I am going to scream into void now.

[gestapo banging on front door]

Me, calling from second floor window: Sorry officers but I didn't vote. You have the wrong house.

zagrebista.bsky.social•32 days ago

From that little red H*mas triangle I'm guessing she hasn't thought too hard about her "hurting civilians for what their government does is bad" stance as it applies internationally

tznkai.bsky.social•32 days ago

I'm pretty sure we also consider it an indictment.

tznkai.bsky.social•32 days ago

Judge us for our terrible voting not our extremely online exuses for our terrible voting.

venomousgoat.bsky.social•32 days ago

Right! So many Americans not voting when this was a possible outcome is one of the things I'm mad about and does not make me less inclined to tariff!

nolanhahn.bsky.social•32 days ago

Amazing for someone with a red triangle in their name to insist that civilians shouldn't be impacted even if their government attacks another country

adamjschmidt.bsky.social•32 days ago

This reminds me of Michael Moore asking if the terrorists knew that New Yorkers hadn't voted for Bush. If I'm remembering that correctly.

jordantcarlson.bsky.social•32 days ago

if they think the Canadian liberals are being mean they're in for a very rude awakening when they start seeing what Canadian leftists are willing to say

persistentpoasting.bsky.social•32 days ago

the lack of agency they proclaim when saying that is so infuriating.
"we didnt vote therefore its not our fault"

No its exactly your fault, you didnt vote and therefore a fucking idiot came to power and now these things are going to happen to your country. maybe consider using your vote next time

mylittlebluesky.bsky.social•32 days ago

It really is a clear distillation of the idea that if you don’t vote you’re absolved from what the government does in your name. A lot of people are about to find out that’s not how it works.

kanna-banana.bsky.social•32 days ago

they're so used to their weird politics they don't even understand how a normal country operates huh

mrbtx.bsky.social•32 days ago

*clicks thru*

why did I think this was going to be anything but sharon cognitohazard posting

ludmirdevotee.bsky.social•32 days ago

What does cognitihazard mean

dov.bsky.social•32 days ago

risk of mental health damage

mrbtx.bsky.social•32 days ago

also typo, should be cognitohazard

ludmirdevotee.bsky.social•32 days ago

Sorry

4ksh4tr4.bsky.social•32 days ago

I gotta say, my nerd side loves such a regular irl use of SCP jargon like "cognitohazard"

whiskeynachos.bsky.social•32 days ago

Ah, there's your problem.

dov.bsky.social•32 days ago

Not voting is not saying you don't like any of the choices on offer. Not voting, legally, lawfully, politically, in terms of its effects, is saying "I'm okay with either one." Therefore, you are, in fact, fucking responsible.

peppert21.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yeen kinda pissed at how many leftists on Blue Sky were saying that Kamala was just as bad. Ive straight been called Blue Maga, cuz I guess Blue Maga is being mad at " leftists" being seemingly willing to let my rights be thrown under the bus

megaweapon5.bsky.social•32 days ago

Dov, you have to try to understand that Americans are born consumers, and we never get that out of our tiny heads no matter what politics we profess. It’s why we treat voting like looking at a restaurant menu. It’s why we think salesmen like Trump and Musk belong in government.

clutch3-16.bsky.social•32 days ago

I think the people I hate the most right now aren't even the nazis but the ostensible leftists who pretended that Harris was the pro-war candidate.

bumbojumbo666.bsky.social•32 days ago

A lot of shitheads and contrarians that still fail to recognize that harris' loss is not something to gloat over.

peopledied2vote.bsky.social•32 days ago

Following because we hate the same people.

preachypreach.bsky.social•32 days ago

You and I have very much never experienced the delights of the US school system but "A republic, if you can keep it" has been in my head for a few years now.

preachypreach.bsky.social•32 days ago

(But, but, US turnout has always been weirdly low. British turn out in 1931 was 76%. IN the US, in 1932, after the Bums in Charge caused the Great Depression? 52.6%)

mikewasson.net•32 days ago

Turnouts before 1964 can't be compared to the modern era, for obvious reasons

mikewasson.net•32 days ago

Although it looks like presidential turnout is almost always in the 50%-70% range, with a few outliers, so maybe lack of civil rights for a large minority in half the country didn't actually affect overall turnout that much? Weird if true.

preachypreach.bsky.social•32 days ago

But only about 10% of the population at the time! Actually the table below explains a lot doesnt it https://www.infoplease.com/us/race/african-american-population

*laughs in Lithuanian*

preachypreach.bsky.social•32 days ago

Hah, I see. One of the fun things in listening to the Revolutions podcast in the gym is noticing the pattern of “the first round of elections had massive turnout. After the well-meaning liberals elected screwed everything up, in the second and third rounds, turnout fell to five men and their dog.”

preachypreach.bsky.social•32 days ago

“Four of whom voted for the God Will Know His Own party”

preachypreach.bsky.social•32 days ago

(High turnout not necessarily a great sign of democratic heath having reminded myself of the turnout in other consequential 1932 elections being 80-84%)

davidjorgonson.bsky.social•32 days ago

US voter turnout is not that much of an outlier

davidjorgonson.bsky.social•32 days ago

Higher than Canada's, heh

liamgaume.bsky.social•32 days ago

The American people brought this upon themselves they can suffer for it. for those us that tried to stop this we must suffer for incompetence I guess.

swolecialism.bsky.social•32 days ago

i mean it's certainly a confession. pathetic

invalidham.bsky.social•32 days ago

The irony of using that dumb "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds" line while being liberals (these people certainly aren't leftist) talking like Nazis about their country having to face consequences for it's actions is too on the nose.

flexasauruswrex.bsky.social•32 days ago

davidjorgonson.bsky.social•32 days ago

They absolutely are not liberals, she has a Hamas red triangle and is objectively pro Trump

gutbucketblues.bsky.social•32 days ago

Half of Americans don’t give a shit who they invade as long as they invade somebody.

jaybirdeo.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yup

satakarnak.bsky.social•32 days ago

Omg the coments by the ameicans are one for one what Russian liberals and such are saying.
