Anyone with 2 ears and 2 eyes saw and heard the warnings. This is on the American people who chose not to vote their way out of this. I don't care what they didn't accomplish, it could've been cut and dry if people just voted.
Do you understand how gerrymandering works? Winner take all? Plus all the other strategies? Millions of us didn't have our votes count for anything. Didn't matter who we picked... But you think we should blame ourselves.
Obviously it's complicated, but if your simple answer is "blame the victims" then I'm not sure where you've been living.
people don’t “choose” to not vote on the scales we see in america today.
the fact that ~64% of just eligible voters, not even the entire population, is considered “historic turnouts” tells you all you need to know about the “democracy” we live in.
the vast, vast majority of americans are disenfranchised, and always have been. people do not choose to be oppressed.
when will it be kosher to say this out loud?
the rhetoric spread in this comment i am replying to is in service of the fascists and their goals. “of course this is happening, they deserved it.”
