I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

This ‘logic’ (and metaphors are not logic) is why help isn’t coming.

then are people actually punching the robbers themselves?

The reality right now is the bigger robbers are now taking things even more brazenly.

By not voting, you are telling both robbers “both of you are free to do whatever you want”

God I hate the stupidity of blue MAGA.

I did vote. You don’t know me.

Your stupidity, and the reason you can justifiably be called blue MAGA, is that you don’t understand what the primary responsibility of the politician is, and instead blame the political parties failures on the voters. Because the Democratic Party can never fail. They can only be failed, right?

There is one group that can and should be blamed for identifying, and then happily handing power over to fascists. Hint: it isn’t the voters.

Blaming the voters is some Stockholm syndrome level bullshit to protect the campaign consultants and other unelected assholes that got rich off of this loss. That is who you are protecting.

Now you are putting the words in my mouth. I have never once implied that democrats can never fail, IDGAF about how bad their campaigning is, because it’s clear as day that republicans clearly wanted to get rid of the minorities in the country, they are just still the less shit option in the choice of 2 shits, and for the sake of immediate safety, you would had to choose the less shit option unless you decided it’s time to fight (and by fight I mean actually no more business as usual, but as of now, the USA is certainly still business as usual).

What the non-voters did is literally shooting your own left foot for not running fast enough. Cool you now proved your point, and many of the minorities currently living in the USA have to suffer because of it, Mexico and Canada has to put up with this shit.

If people want to fight for change, wouldn’t it be actually better to fight under less hostile conditions? With Musk taking over more and more of the government, the chances of success is dwindling, and with the minorities fearing for their lives and is now seeking to leave the country instead of staying to fight for it, the hope for the USA is bleak.

Instead of seeing my point more of blaming voters like you, my point is by populism, there’s a lot of Americans really don’t want the marginalized groups in their country after all, maybe there is indeed no hope and it’s better to leave.
