    placing the blame on citizens for casting a vote on a perceived bad choice in a rigged election that are without safety nets, properly funded schools, a clean environment, better funded healthcare will only sow more division and lead to more people continuing to participate in a rigged election continuing the cycle and keeping the elites that control the two puppet parties plus the toxic media that helps keep the narrative going in power longer

      What the fuck are you talking about? Harris wasn’t going to cut FEMA funding and Democrats aren’t the ones cutting programs that provide school funding, cleaner environmens, and better funded healthcare. The votes these people made are a direct cause of the shit sandwich they’re about to eat, it’s perfectly reasonable to make sure they understand that. Do you just start at “both sides are equally bad” and work backwards every time?

        They’re saying don’t cast blame, instead move from a position of empathy to open their eyes. Certainly they made a bad decision, but they’re uneducated, poor and likely brainwashed, which is only reinforced by negative action. Their plight is an opportunity to commiserate and bring clarity to the situation.

          I have zero empathy for those who voted for the Orange Orangutan and are currently in the process of FAFOing. Zero. Zip. Zilch. NADA.

      They literally voted for this, rigged election or not. Trump tried this shit in his first term, so it’s not like his behavior now is surprising.
