This is definitely the most important thing for the country and for human space exploration as a whole.

What happened to indigenous people and women? I swear I saw one just an hour ago so it seems like they still exist. Maybe not?

That was a cat. You saw a cat an hour ago. Indigenous people and women have never existed. It's been straight white men since Adam and Steve. Wait...

Okay, okay, yeah is it bad? Yeah it's bad but listen up libs - Remember when Harris was being reported as focusing on the middle class during her four month campaign? Huh? Yeah. That's why this is happening. And we were right to not fight against this fascist horror with the one thing that would have mattered, our vote. She should have paid more attention to people who have it bad.

Any post that starts with "listen up libs" immediately makes me ignore the rest of its contents. Not interested in your MAGA and/or tankie bullshit.

The middle class also has it bad. A worker is anyone who isnt an owner

Electoralism is bullshit to begin with. Trump shouldn't have been able to do what he's doing at all. An actual developed society shouldn't be susceptible to fascist takeover, because fascists should be unacceptable in government. And the president shouldn't be able to do anything they want with nothing but good faith holding them back. The American government fundamentally failed a long time ago. If Harris had won it wouldn't have been Trump, but she was far from a progressive and would not have changed the government in an attempt to preserve it against future fascist uprising.

Not to mention her commitment to Israel. Not to mention she was part of the Biden administration, and had a direct involvement in the American government's support for the Palestinian genocide.

Yes, it would've been better in many ways if she had won. But the choice never should've been between a neoliberal conservative and a fascist. America was broken under Biden, too. Not the way it is, nor the way it will be as Trump's kingdom rises. But it's far more nuanced than just "if she had won everything would be swell". And it's weird to point out non-voters as the problem, instead of like. The past 5 decades of American politics. The many many many people who did nothing to prevent this from happening over 50 years. The democratic party itself failed to meaningfully respond to his first presidency.

Yes if the people who had stayed home had instead voted, and voted for Harris specifically, she would be president and the outcome would be better for everyone. Undoubtedly. Like Weimar Germany though the government was already fundamentally broken and susceptible to the rise of fascism. To simply and immediately put blame on the voters ignores the actual reasons that situation even came about to begin with.
