A big heartfelt thanks to all those who decided to stay home and not vote last November.

Lazy, shortsighted, naive bunch of a-holes.

And to Elon who bought the election!

juliadilliard.bsky.social•14 days ago

100%.

genxredhead.bsky.social•14 days ago

Or voted 3rd party.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•14 days ago

I hope they suffer the most.

johnbone.bsky.social•14 days ago

Wait, you mean there was an election?
As in, an actual opportunity to have someone else instead as President, other than this guy?

smartdoe.bsky.social•14 days ago

I have an older widowed neighbor who was very much pro-Biden. Her daughters (Trumpers) told her “things Kamala was going to do,” so confided she voted third party. I told her she voted for Trump and her daughters lied to her. I’m done with the idiots.

scarysota63.bsky.social•14 days ago

Special assist to Dems in the White House, House, and Senate for refusing to pass a voting rights act. Because is actually hard for some folks.

starman-x.bsky.social•14 days ago

Lazy, shortsighted, naive bunch of a-holes whose primary source of information was Fox News and "X" and with no critical thinking skills.

xiane.bsky.social•14 days ago

Come on, this is what 31.6% of eligible voters wanted!

rogermiller.bsky.social•14 days ago

Low engagement voters were more likely to vote for Trump.

missy-ubermom.bsky.social•14 days ago

I still think it was rigged by Elon.

samm1955.bsky.social•14 days ago

89 million eligible voters decided to sit this one out! Grrrr

tamigoldmann.bsky.social•14 days ago

Almost 90 million people don't give a damn.

starman-x.bsky.social•14 days ago

They soon will, methinks. FAFO

tamigoldmann.bsky.social•14 days ago

True. The WI supreme court election with the record breaking turnout is a pretty good indication they're paying attention.

fascistscansuckit.bsky.social•14 days ago

Democrats need to stop acting personally insulted when candidates don't perfectly address 100% of their concerns. PICK THE BEST FUCKING OPTION AND VOTE!!!!

feistybrunette.bsky.social•13 days ago

As I tell my kids "it's a vote - not a marriage proposal". Which one is going to get you CLOSEST to what you want.
Stop with the fucking morality tests.

northbynw.bsky.social•14 days ago

To be fair, we in WA have not stood in line to vote since 2006. All ballots auto mailed to registered addresses, no 'asking for permission'. Use library drop boxes or postage paid. Ridiculous other state's citizens must wait hours in line! 🤔

steve36893.bsky.social•14 days ago

I feel like we need to include 2016 in there, too.

But ...

We're supposed to concentrate on the present. So, OK, concentrate on the present ...

jeffyboh.bsky.social•14 days ago

But but but the genocide...

prairiegirl.bsky.social•14 days ago

Ya, that's sure better under 'nuke and pave' Trump.

crabby-phatty.bsky.social•14 days ago

I spent the last few weeks prior to the election desperately trying to reason with leftists that Gaza would be even worse off with Trump, and that any other issue would also be worse bc ppl can't fight for the vulnerable when they can't even take care of themselves. It's irrational, it's childish.

jeffyboh.bsky.social•14 days ago

It is hard to convince people there is no perfect candidate. Every voter makes some kind of compromise when we vote. When we don't vote we risk getting the worst. The scary part is I don't believe we've seen the worst of Trump yet.

crabby-phatty.bsky.social•14 days ago

Project 2025 is sufficiently terrifying and much worse than anything even the most moderate Centrist Boomer Dem could inflict. Likewise, Trump threatened to flatten Gaza and Musk spoke of a time of pain, all prior to the election. The information was there, which is why educated non-voters anger me.

tectorgorch.bsky.social•14 days ago

So tired of people blaming the voters or the non voters. The rich and powerful put us here. They love to see us fight amongst ourselves.

sbvee.bsky.social•14 days ago

I disagree that because there are rich and powerful forces working against us that it absolves us of personal responsibilities as U.S. citizens. We all have free will to pay attention, educate ourselves, and vote (or not) accordingly. We collectively allowed this to happen.

tectorgorch.bsky.social•14 days ago

It doesn’t absolve us, I guess. I just think that we aren’t the ones we should be mad at.

sbvee.bsky.social•14 days ago

I can see that. But I think frustration is justified at the very least. I hope that when we come through to the other side of this (and we will someday, however painfully) that there will be a new appreciation for the role each voter plays in a democratic republic. We owe each other that.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•14 days ago

They deserve all the blame. Ultimately, they’re the ones who had the power to stop this & they chose to allow it to happen so they deserve the blame. All they had to do is cast a ballot.

pwusch.bsky.social•13 days ago

But that was clearly too much work for like 90 million people... fuck them.

briantarbell.bsky.social•14 days ago

I don't think we need to be attacking our fellow Americans.

bjttene.bsky.social•14 days ago

He should have never even made it on the ticket.

pwusch.bsky.social•13 days ago

DonOld should have been arrested on 1/7, tried for high treason, convicted, and executed like the Rosenbergs, and I am not joking.

slhofeller.bsky.social•14 days ago

Failure to recognize, "a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism" is naive.

Shirking the, "...duty, to throw off such Government" is lazy.

To say that voting is how We The People "right" ourselves is both shortsighted and naive.

A-holes spin victim blame to cover for Power.

☮️❤️🌎🏴

joshbloch.bsky.social•14 days ago

And a shoutout to all the idiotic D's who denied their support to Harris because they feared their views on the Israel/Palestine situation weren't being respected.

crabby-phatty.bsky.social•14 days ago

A lot of the non-voters are super comfy white middle class students or comfy white financially stable cis-het adult men just salivating over the chance to stick it to their liberal parents paying for their college, or to feminist women, respectively. They are selfish morons with false morality.

thechroniccrow.bsky.social•14 days ago

when i fckn saw these numbers 🤬

kimbermacv.bsky.social•14 days ago

Don’t forget those in Nov. 2016 who also didn’t vote (for @hillaryclinton.bsky.social) because they just didn’t think the orange dumb ass could win.

wvrnsson.bsky.social•14 days ago

Also thanks to those who chose to vote for the orange buffoon who is a convicted felon that couldn't run his own businesses properly

davidicouldbewrong.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yes. They will complain but it is their own dam fault. https://cbwrong.blogspot.com/?m=1

richgraham.bsky.social•14 days ago

Every time democrats stabbed liberals in the back, bashed our heads in with a brick, burned the body and pissed on our ashes, a few more liberals left. And demicrats said 'good riddance'. Now all of a sudden the ones that hung on this long, finnaly left and they are mad?

emmiedoodle.bsky.social•14 days ago

STOP with this horrible messaging already. You're creating a whole new division of hate and that will be on you. The better approach would be why didn't they vote and how YOU could support them in doing so from this point forward. Your devisiveness is shortsighted. Encourage and include...

thedrummer.bsky.social•14 days ago

The scary thing is that pollsters say that, if the people who didn't vote had voted, Trump would have won by a bigger margin. I don't know if it's just that they hate women candidates or if they truly bought into Trump's bullshit. Either way, we live in a dumb country.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•14 days ago

Fuck all those people.
They deserve to suffer.

tidepools111.bsky.social•14 days ago

Complicit

feistybrunette.bsky.social•13 days ago

and Jill Stein voters!!!

aleksa-milicevic.bsky.social•14 days ago

“Yes, but the genocide*”

“Yes, but the inflation”

“Yes, but Liz Cheney”

“Yes, but two wings, same bird”

“Yes, but I don't hate Black women, but”

“Yes, but I would've missed my game”

“… Wait, there was an election?”

*They've been using it like a funny-harhar buzzword, it's disgusting.

dark-phnx83.bsky.social•14 days ago

I never understood the genocide bit. They said they punished Kamala for Biden's policy. OK, but the Veep has no power. *And,* to make matters worse, Trump said Netanyahu should go further. So what, an *actual* Final Solution, which is basically what he's doing now? Great job, you fucking idiots.

slendy5127.bsky.social•9 days ago

Ima try you’re made sane people realize genocide isn’t better than genocide just because you mindlessly worship one of the people promising genocide

crabby-phatty.bsky.social•14 days ago

It's like when Centrist or moderate right wing voters constantly err on the side of Republicans just because of abortion. Yes, But Gaza is THE MOST FUCKING IGNORANT NONSENSE I've ever had the displeasure to see on the left. Gaza is WORSE OFF under Trump and that was ALWAYS OBVIOUS. Even last fall.

sachiamaragiri.bsky.social•13 days ago

Certainly the felon47 butthole took 77 million on a wild goose chase and really Fokked everyone

slendy5127.bsky.social•9 days ago

I’m sorry you can’t handle sane people remember Harris repeatedly stated she wouldn’t stop giving genocidal terrorists everything they asked for.

billjondoyle.bsky.social•14 days ago

also to all the ultraleft puritans who encouraged them to do so

swgeneralmills.bsky.social•14 days ago

kipanswede.bsky.social•14 days ago

Oh, it was only 85 million adult Americans that proved what laziness and stupidity leads to. Add the 76 million adults that actually voted FOR this to happen and you have 161 million reasons to why the whole world hates the US now.

pbgvsrule.bsky.social•14 days ago

Bored and decadent

joelmelby.bsky.social•14 days ago

They broke it, they own it…

robsalk.bsky.social•14 days ago

Special shout out to the ones who didn't really like Trump but weren't gonna vote, you know, for HER, so they wrote in someone else and figured it would all work out ok.

lbennet.bsky.social•14 days ago

I wonder how all the muslim voters in MI who stayed home or voted for Trump feel about his (and Bibi’s)plan” for Gaza-

sewmageddon.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yep. I blame non-voters just as much as I blame Maga.

musicblues56.bsky.social•14 days ago

It's likely they're not here on Bluesky and more likely there just sitting on their asses while our country is demolished.

slendy5127.bsky.social•9 days ago

Damn, maybe Dems shoulda tried appealing to the populace rather than telling people to fuck off when asked to not support genocidal terrorists.

bartorchard.daliban.social•14 days ago

"Yeah, but both parties are basically the same!" 🤡

bollama.bsky.social•14 days ago

I find them even more responsible for this mess than the brainwashed MAGA cult. If Trump has his way, you may never again even have the opportunity to vote for President.

existentialistist.bsky.social•14 days ago

I feel you. but I do think it’s a trap — one carefully laid out and supported by the billionaires who own our social media feeds — for us to be tricked into blaming and hating the “bad blue voters” more than the *actual Nazis*

That’s exactly what they want: to infight-splinter any cohesive response

feistybrunette.bsky.social•13 days ago

idle-idea.bsky.social•14 days ago

I would like to add, that the above alluded to, are just as bad as Trump going to Mar-a-Lago during a self inflicted market crash AND purposefully deciding not to got to a dignified transfer of US Service men and rather go to a Saudi sponsored Golf event.

shelleysimonsen65.bsky.social•14 days ago

They’re enjoying the havoc they helped bring on, but it won’t be so amusing once they can’t afford groceries or anything else. It’s only just begun.

robins-truth.bsky.social•14 days ago

I bet they wish they had voted now!

anonymousnow.bsky.social•14 days ago

crabby-phatty.bsky.social•14 days ago

I do not want one more of these self righteous assholes deign to explainer-rific why Gaza. Unless you are literally Palestinian it just feels like white savior bullshit. When right wingers talk about performative virtue signaling they're usually wrong but not in the case of the brazen non-voters.
