    Marlboro’s didn’t lead us to Fascist takeover and destruction of American democracy. All young Democrats had to do was show up to vote, even after Trump had ripped away safe federally protected Abortions, and they simply could not be bothered. The jokes write themselves.

      I know 5 that have admitted they didn’t vote and I’m pretty sure a few were because they couldn’t vote for a woman as they never really seemed concerned about Palestine. And I don’t use social media so me knowing that many is surprising to me

              No, people who specifically won’t vote for women are misogynists. You’d be surprised how many people there are who fit that description even on the left.

              No it’s not coherent, but neither are humans in general.

        Yeah, the country was not ready for a female president. If the ticket had been flipped, Waltz would have had a much better chance.

        Maybe people decided that choosing between staying a broken course and going down a worse one wasn’t worth it. Democrats can’t keep offering people nothing and being surprised that people don’t vote for them.

        THEY DIDN’T FUCKING VOTE. You know who did, young republicans, and more latino and arab americans than have ever voted for a republican candidate in us history before, and they voted for Trump. yeah, i kinda am. free, fair, safe, elections, and Democrat youth couldn’t be bothered to cast a fucking vote. 2.3% made up the difference between saving american democracy and losing it all.
