    You’re talking to me as if I’m one of those non-voters.

    Most Americans are not the terminally-online type - they didn’t see your impassioned warnings about Trump. All they heard was that there was an election, and the choice was between Trump and Harris, and neither one really had anything material to offer them. To them, democrats screaming about how bad Trump is is just par for the course. They needed more than to not be Trump, and they didn’t deliver.

    Go ahead and scream into the void if you want. None of it will change the fact that Harris lost because she ran a bad campaign and turned her back on meaningful progress.

      Well you’re defending them.

      And it’s has nothing to do with my warnings. It has to do with the literal words he said out loud repeatedly.

      Now all you’re saying is American voters are ignorant and that’s somehow Kamala Harris’ fault. If they didn’t know what Trump had to say, they didn’t know what Harris had to say.

      Again not a good excuse.

        I’m not defending them, I’m just explaining why that message didn’t land the way you think it should have.

        Most people think democrats are alarmist (and they often are), and even if they thought the threat was credible, they don’t think it would affect them.

        Call them dumb if you want, I don’t care, democrats didn’t do enough to turn them out either way.
