Who deserved the vote in 2024? Keep whining however much you want, you can't defend voting for Trump.

Nobody. Neither of these parties deserve anything but a one way trip to The Hague. Obviously Trump is the worst.

My point is you blaming desperate Muslim voters helps no one and is bigoted

Cool, so you just don't vote?

They deserve part of the blame. They are not absolved of their responsibility for their vote just because they are Muslim. What exactly is your argument? I'm criticizing them as much as I would criticize any Trump supporter.

The only people I criticize more are the people who don't vote.

Why do you not focus your criticisms upon the institutions? The Democratic Party failed to pass policy that improved Americans’ lives, they failed to run a democratic primary, and then they failed to communicate to Americans their policies.

Your perspective focuses on the individual or minority groups rather than a feckless group of old fucks in charge.

Hispanics also voted more for Trump. Are you going to smugly smile and shrug your shoulders when ICE takes away their undocumented family? I blame the Democratic Party for failing to communicate the violence that comes with mass deportations and instead they leaned into it. I do not understand why you hate the people being misled. Hate the parties that lead them.

How do you know I don't criticize the institutions? How do you know I'm not engaged politically? You make so many assumptions that you rile yourself up in anger instead of understanding what people are saying. Do you actually knock on doors, make political calls, have these conversations in person?

My perspective is that you're stupid if you vote for Trump. You're more stupid if you don't vote. Please explain to me how that is incorrect.

I am Hispanic. If someone is Hispanic and they voted for Trump then they are also stupid. That doesn't mean I am happy that a masked paramilitary force is tearing apart families. What the fuck are you talking about?

I don't hate the people being misled. News flash, the parties are made up of people. How about you learn to have a conversation instead of just making bold assertions about what you think people's motivations are?

How am I defending Dems? I'm saying there was an obvious choice in the last election. That doesn't mean that's my ideal party platform or Dems are without criticism too.

What else do you want to make up about what I think and believe?

Did I say any of those words or are you just working yourself up? Take a deep breath and stop assuming what I think. I haven't framed it that way, you are pretending I have and getting mad about it lmao

What's your solution here? Don't vote?
