335 million is the population, 71 million voted for trump. You can extrapolate with 150 million voters and 90 million that didn’t , there are only 240 million of the US population that are eligible to vote (so near 100 million didn’t even have a chance to voice their opinion).
I’ve looked at the numbers before but can’t remember the specifics but it’s at least in the ball park if my memory serves me right.
Ever wonder if that sentiment is the reason people are jaded to begin with? You shouldn’t have to deal with a quid pro quo for your politicians actions. Anyone on here making a statement like this is showing just how jaded they are themselves and never actually cared about progressive policies, just “their team winning”.
“Oh you didn’t do something I wanted? Well now you don’t deserve anything”, is this really the message you’re trying to send while being such an active participant on the fediverse? It’s really scary and telling seeing all these comments, you were never really in it for the moral fight, just the victory. One failed election and everyone “deserves” what’s coming for them now.
I mean… The country spoke… So why bother.

I don’t understand your numbers but yeah, I am not exactly happy about how things went down.

edit: grammar
The tiny majority of voters. Not the country. Close? Not really.
All those eligible voters who didn’t bother to vote at all who make up the rest of the country spoke too. They said they didn’t give a shit.
So again, seems like a “why bother?” situation.
