    Look at who the USAmerican people voted for despite all their hate for the health insurance industry: a bunch of crooks that make the industry profitable on the backs of their voters.

    People can’t help themselves but vote against their interests.

        just as neglecting to make a decision is still a decision, neglecting to vote is still a vote.

            Obviously those people wouldn’t fall under “neglecting to vote”, now would they?

                    No, I heard nothing about that in a thread talking about the effect of such an action /s

                    Nobody with a modicum of critical thinking can seriously believe that all 90M non-voters tried everything to vote and just couldn’t.

          It’s a blatant statement that they don’t consider either candidate to be a legitimate choice.

          Just like upgrading from eating scaps to eating fastfood, better doesn’t mean good.

      That describes both parties. There’s a reason none of the dems are taking advantage of this moment to show the overwhelming majority that they want the same things.

      Both candidates were pro-institution. Let go of the delusion that Harris was somehow a champion of the people. She is the system. The only reason she got the amount of votes she did is because she was the only viable non-trump vote possible. The DNC tried to force another neo-liberal on us, and the people stayed home.
