At least half of all US voters is okay with all this, no?

The Fanta Menace won the popular vote with 51% and Harris had 48%. A third of registered voters didn’t vote.

One third voted against fascism, one third voted for fascism, and the final third is complicit in enabling fascism since they didn’t vote.

That's not actually true. He won with 49.8% of the vote and Harris got 48.3%. So he didn't even win a majority.

Crazy how much that 1.5% could have changed

Thanks for the correction. I was going off memory but clearly was incorrect.

Democracy is a participation sport and if you sit on the fucking sidelines you get what you deserve

Harris voters were fine with fascism - as long as it was carried out abroad.

Vote suppression was a very real problem in this election, notably

Another problem this election was how obviously Trump, Putin and Netanyahu played the young left voters like a fiddle.
