If you count the election as the biggest possible poll, that let’s you infer which way the non-voters would have gone.
And if you are a non-voter, that means you have declared the eventual outcome as your preferred outcome, since you did not vote otherwise.
couldn’t be bothered to give a shit
Which means they chose this too. The only people without any culpability are the ones who voted for Harris or who for many reasons were not able to vote.
Doesn’t mean that the people who did not vote are as much at fault as the ones voting for Trump, but they share part of the blame.
Americans HAVE their country, this is what they want, this is what they voted for. Stop treating Americans as if this is something pressed upon them. They chose this. Now they will live with the consequences.
Still the same, electoral college are the ones voting for the president, not the people, the latter only elect the electors, not the president.

Theoretically the electoral college could still vote for Harris, some states can have Faithless Electors.

The newspapers repudiation of a fascist in dangerous times would hit that much harder had they not endorsed other politicians in less dangerous times.
So now it’s damned if they do, damned if they don’t… swallow that pill they must at some point. But it would have been an easier pill to swallow after the rule of fascism in the US had been averted.

Wait, what?
Embrace the Rot by Endless Taverns.
I play a high level D&D spore druid who worships the rot as the culmination of the circle of life and death. He’s also, due to our campaign turning us into the heirs of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, currently wearing the mantle of the second horseman “Pestilence”.
It’s just… the song is perfect, it’s his theme song now.
My most hated meme people use right now is: “We’ve had the worst storms/rains/drought/fires of the century every year, that’s just how it is.”
Bitch if it’s the worst of the century every year that means it’s getting worse every year! There’s no status quo in this!
Enkrod feels euphoric due to every D-list in this thread menacing with spikes of Dwarf Fortress
That has actually been tested!
Big cats notice the laserpointer but they don’t really chase it. Most likely because they don’t hunt insects and small rodents.
