I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

The ratchet effect is real and people should abandon both parties.
That being said there was 0% chance someone besides a D or R would win the 2024 election, so D was the objectively correct choice for anyone who isn't rich.
That being said the protest voters didn't actually impact the election in a meaningful way, and the insane pushback against them now is part of a propaganda campaign to keep the poors fighting.
I think I recognize your un from another almost identical thread. Thank you for your absolutely normal and level headed take. This post absolutely reeks of purposeful sowing of division.
Together ape strong
I like you. Welcome to Lemmy.
Thanks fam :3
I only care and am arguing because it seems like it is the harshest button issue, and while I agree its meaningless and they likely did not swey the election too much, I want, in the cathartic emotional way for someone to either admit that, or admit that harris did a bad stratagy because she abandoned the people to the left of her to get people to the right, because it cannot be nither.
The economy has and always will be the number 1 issue.
Also for regular Americans "the economy" means their own financial situation.
I mean I know for none voters this cited Gaza but I think as always Economy was over all number one. I also think it is worth pointing out that we where not doing great over bidens term, so lots of people would vote for anyone who just said it would be better even if it was not fleshed out because it was not good.
I hear this stupid take a lot. Some typical "but we didn't have any effect so we are innocent" BS. You have no idea how many common people "protest voters" misinformation campaign cause to throw their arms up and not vote. If that same group spent their efforts stirring up a drive to get out and vote for the only vote that could stop trump and his puppet masters from gaining devastating power in a critical election that would have toppled both maga and Elon, the sway would have been enormous. Instead they are all trump enablers and get the blame they deserve. (Also the "but the Democrats....blah blah" is a stupid argument, they ALSO get blame that doesn't absolve the "protest vote" clowns of anything at all)
You being too dumb or egotistical to engage with observable reality is your own issue.
Don't break that "being wrong" streak!
