Yes it's us refusing to accept things.
Yes it is.
This is not the first election; the US has been putting lunatics in for years with turnouts of barely 60%.
Who else is to blame?
Okay. Show me the evidence in that case. Show me the polls that had Trump with high approval ratings. Refute that case that another democrat that was actually chosen by voters would have lost. You can't because that's not what the evidence shows.
Don’t move goalposts. You can clearly read what I wrote; that they’ve been electing lunatics for years and that their turnouts to elections are barely 60%.
Again stop adding shit because you can’t handle the fact that the responsibility for this lies at the feet of US voters.
Redundant, because they’re your pull ins.
Just do the right, easiest thing instead of fucking whining. That was voting. Now, it’s peaceful shutdown.
Move the goal posts? Mother fucker were saying he was wildly unpopular and the shutlib class insisted we run one of either two of the only Democrats s incapable of beating him.
You the one saying otherwise you dumb mfer, so you gotta put up or shut up.
If you gonna spout shit off then not back it up, just take a step back and don't spout. I'm not the shutlib defending dogshit Democrats.
You come to a politics forum, disagree with some one on a political matter, then get pissed when people ask for the receipts?
Two points worth restating: Trump wasn't not a popular candidate in 2024.
That can be backed up with an enormous amount of evidence.
Second point: The only candidates less popular with voters were Biden, and then Harris.
That's the two points being made. You can disagree with them but then the onus is on you to show why it's not the case.
👍
It is, tho.
