33% of American didn't even bother to show up and vote. They're complicit in this

Millions in CA, whose votes went to the Dems. So tired of people pretending they can just lump all non voters together when they can't

    If you're not against fascists you're with them. There's no middle ground

    You can lump most of them together (I'd make exceptions for those with a genuine reason they couldn't, a medical issue or absolute lack of transport options for example). even if your state is, and was, solid blue, enough showing support to the Democrat candidate would have meant that Trump couldn't claim a mandate as the popular vote would have gone the other way. Sure, it wouldn't change the outcome itself, but would have given some comfort to those suffering that the majority of voters didn't want this. As it is, he scraped the popular vote, and the record shows that, in fact, the majority of those who could be bothered to vote actually deliberately voted for this.

    People who didn't vote had their votes go to the Dems? What?

    They're talking about the ridiculous electoral college which should be abolished. But voting is still important. I am in one of the reddest states and I still voted. There were important ballot measures and it's important to still vote even when you know it won't count. Now the dipshit gets to claim a mandate because he won popular vote. And of course with his lying he's calling it a landslide.

    Not American but Canadian and live in Alberta. I get off my ass every election and vote even though I know there is not a snowballs chance in hell anything but the cons are getting in power. They have been in power my whole life and longer except for one blip. Hoping for another longer one.
