Who is claiming moral superiority over casting votes?
The only people I hear claiming superiority are the ones who abstain from elections because ‘they’re all the same and all rigged and we’re just too stupid to realize.’

Immigrants might be in camps, but at least you Democrat voters have your sense of moral superiority!

This is about this
Mostly the half dozen posts I've seen on here in the last day or two masturbating to old tired cliches about progressives costing Kamala the election. When, in reality, they held their nose and voted for the corporate goon, like they always do.

I literally provided data, but I understand feels over reals are the motto of you lot.
Cool story, brah!
You have it backwards. The morons voted 3rd party.
Trump - 77,302,580 - 49.8%
Harris - 75,017,613 - 48.3%
Fun with math:
49.8 + 48.3 = 98.1.
77,302,580 + 75,017,613 = 152,320,193
152,320,193 = 98.1% of the vote.
x = 100%, solve for X.
152,320,193 * 100 / 98.1 = 155,270,329 total votes (approximately).
155,270,329 - 152,320,193 = 2,950,136 voters who failed to vote for Trump or Harris.
Flipping the popular vote would have required 2,284,968 of them to vote for Harris. 77.45%.
Even then, that's not a guarantee thanks to the Electoral College:
Trump won Pennsylvania at 50.37%. Getting all the non-Trump votes behind any single candidate would have still lost. Harris or otherwise.
Arizona? 52.22%
Nevada? 50.59%
Georgia? 50.73%
South Carolina? 58.23%
Only 2 atates could have seen a non-Trump vote flip the election to Harris:
Wisconsin - 49.60%
Michigan - 49.73%
But even if Harris won those 2, it wouldn't have been enough to flip the election.
Electoral vote:
287 (270 to win) - 251
If a 3rd party won those two, which would have been the first time a third party won ANY state since 1968, it wouldn't have been enough to flip the election.
287 - 226 - 25
x = 100%, solve for X.
100%? Is that the answer?
Nope, keep reading. :)
I was making the joke about interpreting the line as if it were a mathematical equation. "x=100%" "solve for x" "x would be 100%" lol just playing around
It was rigged like all the elections since the 90's. Only this time they got away with it because the chickenshits stayed home while Russia phoned in fake bomb threats. Or they decided to cling to their own moral integrity and allow Nazis in the door.
Why bother with data when it's irrelevant anyway.
Oh no, not moral integrity!! Lmao do you listen to yourself? Dems let Nazis in the door, to be clear
Immigrants might be in camps, but at least you Democrat voters have your sense of moral superiority!
Sorry that we made an attempt to stop them while you sat at home celebrating the oncoming genocides?

Stop blaming a few principled progressives and focus on the real assault he got away with.
