      It doesn’t matter. They are a niche voting block too small to have swayed the election. Stop acting like they are politically relevant enough to be worth poking and just let them be. We gain nothing by pointing fingers at each other when the real villains are right there.

          You’re highlighting an effect, and you’re pointing out the cause by calling out protest non-voters.

          You’re absolutely pointing fingers.

            “Don’t touch a hot stove, Timmy.”

            Timmy touches hot stove

            “OW!”

            “That’s why i told you to not touch the stove, Tim.”

            You: “QUIT BLAMING TIMMY!”

              I never said that people shouldn’t vote for Kamala. Hell, I voted for Kamala when the day came.

              I did however hold her to a high standard, and drove arguments at the time that she needs to do better if she wants to win more votes than Trump.

              Chasing after Republicans was not the right call. Chasing after independents wasn’t the call either. She should have adopted far Left populist policies like Medicare For All, Livable Wages, and an Israel Arms Embargo if she wanted to capture more of the stay-at-home couch potato non-voters.

              Not all non-voters were protesters, and Kamala absolutely could have increased her numbers with her policies. She could have even lied to the public about it just to gain power, like Obama in many ways. Liberals can’t even bring themselves to good politicking anymore
