This is what nearly ~60% of the country voted for.

About ~30% directly and ~30% indirectly by not voting at all.

Don't let them say otherwise.

Edit: Looks like I hit a nerve. If you voted for Trump you voted for this. If you didn't vote then you also voted for this. Do better.

It constantly amazes me how the people who can't be bothered to vote get so upset when you point out that they tacitly support the very things they hate by choosing not to participate.

You seem to think a lot of us who held our nose while voting for Harris didn't vote. We complained loudly about our options. We still voted against the bad man because we had no choice. The metric is smaller than you think.

No, I am stating that ~30% of the population didn't vote at all. Which is the metric.

Not whether or not progressives did or did not.

I am saying to remember the people who allowed these things to happen.

It might have been more than other elections (I'm conceding without checking), but a huge amount of people don't vote in every election. It should be mandatory, like Australia.

Already forgot about the "do not come" threats?

If you voted for Trump you voted for this, if you voted for Harris you Voted for this, if you didn't vote then you voted for this.
