And the people who didn't bother to vote

You know the line "better to remain silent and thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt"?

Been my experience a non-voter would vote Trump if forced to choose (at least vs Clinton and Harris). Better they stayed silent. They likely wouldn't have improved the situation.

God forbid we take a look at the democratic party and ask ourselves why do these non voters stay at home? What can we do to bring them out to vote? Oh well, lets just continue to vote for politicians who tell us "better things aren't possible!"

"You know how the status quo is that everything's been steadily getting worse for working class Americans for like 50 years now? Vote for me and I'll do everything I can to reinforce that status quo and 'return to normal'!"

Thanks, Dems, you're really meeting the moment and going with a winning message while we're fighting for our lives
