Only ~60% of people eligible to vote in 2024 did vote with ~30% of eligible voters voting for the idiotscape we currently have.

So, I think OP message was for the folks who didn't vote. Especially given the people against going backwards on environmental protection is a large majority of the population.

If everyone voted, we wouldn't be dealing with this. Excluding future success of social media propaganda campaigns.

We all need to fucking vote. Otherwise you get folks like Stephen Miller, Elon Musk, Laura Loomer puppetting an orange shell.

Because of the electoral college. It didn’t matter who didn’t vote. If 0% more people voted in Mississippi or Alabama and every single eligible voter voted in New York and California, it wouldn’t have mattered.

That's some bullshit. If everyone voted the electoral college would be dwarfed across the board. If 50% more people vote the difference won't be in just AL, MS, CA, NY -- it will be across the board. Stop trying to fuck with our elections by discouraging people from voting.

Really? Do you not know how the electoral college works? What do you think happens if there was 30% more participation in Blue states?

[daveguy]

If 30% more people vote it won't just be people in "blue states". That's the goddamn point. It'll mean we, as a country, get closer to the things we have 60%+ agreement.

You're discouraging voting with failures of logic, Mr 4 Month Raw Anon. "BuT wHaT iF tHeY OnLy vOtE iN bLuE sTaTeS?!" Seriously? ffs, a child could see through you.

To everyone else -- remember this. Vote in numbers that can't be eclipsed by nihilist propaganda asshats like this tool.

Let's make the margins huge in blue and purple states, miniscule to none in red states. The US can show the world a massive rejection of Trumpism if we all vote.

[raw_anon_1111]

If 30% more voted in Alabama , Mississippi, Texas or Florida, do you think they would have voted democratic? Do you have any evidence that the demographics of people who don’t vote are disproportionate to the people who do in any of those states?

If you know anything about American history, despite what Michelle Obama says “this is exactly who this country is”

[daveguy]

You are completely missing the point because you are pushing an agenda. Go back and read a little more carefully. And see if you can comprehend this concept: when there's a 60% consensus on a topic and everyone votes for it, that topic wins overwhelmingly. There are a lot of those issues like that in the Trumpty Dumpty clown show. That's why they're trying to choose their voters with gerrymandering.

Damn Skippy, people in Alabama and Mississippi are going to be voting more blue in 2026 and 2028.
