    Please read what I am inferring, I am not saying people should have voted for anyone else then Harris. My point is you don’t get to use the word “democracy” when you don’t have more then one choice for voters, that is authoritarianism. When one side is fascist but the other side moves towards them, you needed to (as your founding fathers warned you about) have more then two parties. This was a referendum on the Democratic party, and they failed. Hard. Blaming people was always going to happen, I know that, but maybe learning to not blame the very people you needed to not fall to fascism would be a good start.

    I will have another election, one with more then two parties since I am not living in the pit you call the USA.

      You are saying one side is “bad” severely downplaying the danger.

      I dont have founding fathers. No idea wtf you are on about.

      This was a vote between fascism or the continuous existence of democracy. A flawed democracy, sure. One that needs to be reworked. But still better than full on fascism.

      I am glad that you, as well as I, will have another election. Americans wont. Because of maga voters and non voters.

        My point, once again, is that this is inevitable with any two party system. At the point it comes down to the choice between:

        1. The ruling party
        2. Literal Fascists

        You no longer have a democracy, flawed or otherwise. You have authoritarianism.

          Our democracy is still relatively strong even if the fascists get stronger. But america has no more democracy after this election. Correct.

          If the non voters would have picked democracy there would have been a chance to get back to a real vote next time. Still only 2 parties which sucks but at least away from fascism. Now there wont be another election due to non voters.

            America did not have a democracy going into this election, just a choice of the status quo and fascism. And the people picked fascism, by voting or staying home that choice was made.

              America had a democracy. A flawed democracy. But its better than literal fascism and non voters picked the fascism. So they deserve whats going to happen to them
