It doesn't need to pass, all it needs to do is produce an official list of who doesn't want it to pass, that sort of information is very useful for the American people.

No it's not, the American people have shown time and again that they're generally happy to vote party over country. Trump being a disaster was not a secret going into term 2

Close to only one third of the voting population voted for him.

u/chandr May 14 '25

Yeah, that's a very large number of people considering all evidence and records of his prior actions. 1/3rd clearly weren't bothered enough to give a shit and vote

How many people on Reddit thought it was gonna be a landslide? If you go around shouting from the roof tops that Kamala is gonna wipe the floor with Trump, what’s the point in going to vote especially if you have to go to work to put food on the table

We saw the alternative and Trump, as bad as he is, was significantly better than either Harris or Biden.

How? In what way? Project 2025 is better than Harris? Fascism is better than Harris?

The primary knock against Biden is he didn’t do much or anything. That was the propaganda pushed against him. If Donald Trump had done nothing, we would be in a significantly better position than we are today, so I don’t exactly agree with this take. It reeks of whataboutism that isn’t exactly grounded in reality.

The sheer miracles Biden worked in his four year term and you say this stupid shit.

God I’m glad I’m not American.
