    https://youtu.be/GIIQQqnPVuw?t=3m49s He said democrats have to earn your vote, so the harm reduction argument isn’t valid. The democrats didn’t earn my vote so I didn’t vote. Now Trump killed 2 people, started a war, cut all solar programs, ruined our trade negotiations, destroyed the fda, destroyed usaid, destroyed the department of education, pulled out of the climate accord, destroyed research for being “woke,” but I mean hey the democrats didn’t earn my vote so I was fully justified not voting I think.

      Did you go out and vote for any other candidates (local, senators, congressmen, school board?) or did you just skip voting all together?

      Because if you did skip voting all together then yes it is 100% your own fault. Because I’m sure as shit he didn’t say “don’t vote”, he just said Democrats need to earn your vote. You’re the fuck weed who decided not to.

      I’m a fucking Bernie bro and I was not on board with Hillary I was not on board with Kamala, but I sure as fuck went out and voted for both of them because I knew what the hell was coming.

      This damage was self-inflicted. And every person who puts up their hand says, “not me I didn’t do this, I stayed home and didn’t vote cause both candidates sucked” is part of the problem and not any part of the solution. You don’t like the candidates? Then show up to the primaries and caucuses, get signs and put them in your lawn and support the candidates you want. Don’t just sit at home and post on Facebook how “everything sucks and it’s not my fault”.

        I am saying I sucked it up and voted for kamala despite hassan explicity saying it was okay to not vote for the lesser of 2 evils “especially this time.” If there was ever a time in history to vote for the lesser of 2 evils, this was it. Hassan either pretends to or actually doesn’t realize how much America got shafted by trump, and how much WORSE trump would be for hamas.

          The democrats didn’t earn my vote so I didn’t vote.

          This was literally your previous statement. So you can see how what you are saying is confusing.
