I mean, I fully agree voting needs to be much easier. Vote by mail, whatever. No argument at all.

But no- you can't explain 90 MILLION people not voting based on voter suppression. That's just an absolute BS excuse.

Too many people are lazy and too many have been told "oh it's the DNC", etc. It's not. Primaries have like 30% turnout AT BEST. 90 million didn't show up to vote against a fascist in the general.

People need to be told- "hey, it's you. YOU need to go vote." They've been absolved of responsibility time and time again. When you tell people that it's not their fault then they have zero incentive to correct any kind of behavior.

    You sound like an abusive parent. Probably should seek therapy. You also reminded me of this well worded Tumblr post. Here's the text

    Everyone will not just

    If your solution to some problem relies on “If everyone would just…” then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At [no] time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they’re not going to start now.

    Again. Stop blaming the many, start blaming the few.

    Ahh OK. We'll just treat them like they have zero responsibility like spolled kids. Surely they'll turn around. /s

    Pro tip- your approach has done Jack shit for decades so

    I can't imagine what a spoiled brat you must be when something like "take responsibility for your actions and inaction" must sound like "abuse."

    Yeah people need to do what they're told, that'll stop fascism. /s

    Why don't you point that attitude at the DNC (the ones who are actually supposed to do what we say)? Why don't you ask them to take responsibility for their actions? They could've won if they had listened instead of literally plugging their ears when being told they were doing wrong.
