minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up79arrow-down1·11日前I think these people are the ones to have voted.
minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up60arrow-down1·11日前What makes you think they didn’t? 75 million people voted for Harris. We likely won’t know the count of today’s protests, but I feel safe saying it was far fewer than 75 million.
minus-squareBilliam@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18·10日前The estimate was 5 million people across 1300 cities. A lot of people complaining about these protests seem to think that level of coordinated protesting isn’t impressive. Those numbers alone should make anyone stop and think about what’s going on.

minus-squareDragonTypeWyvern@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up14arrow-down2·11日前Well, that wouldn’t be true if everyone voted, but it does bring up the point that winner take all is just a bad representative system.
minus-squaretechnocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-29日前There is no such thing as a good “representative” system.
minus-squareWraithGear@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9日前But there are far far better systems.

minus-squaretechnocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-29日前It would be nice if there had been non-fascist duopoly candidates to vote for. But here we are.
minus-squareChrispyswords@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9日前Let’s not forget that there are more than two choices. I understand there is certainly a duopoly, but that only continues as long as we continue voting for only one or the other.
minus-squareJohn@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down4·10日前Oh look, another liberal blaming eveybody and anybody except the traish-tier Democrat platform/candidate.
minus-squareVanillaFrosty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9日前Hey if they had 4 more years they sure would have at least thought about punishing the insurrections.

I think these people are the ones to have voted.
What makes you think they didn’t?
