      And far more didn’t vote at all.

      Let’s stop acting like we’re so surprised. Millions were told repeatedly what would happen and they did. Not. Care.

      This is America. In all its ugliness. We truly need to own it because enough people here did not care.

        Thats what I said, they didn’t vote at all. Trump votes did increase but only barely. The DNC voters just stayed home because everybody shits on them online.

          Just because they voted for Biden does not mean they were registered Democrats. A lot of people turned out for Biden because we were hot off the first Trump term so a lot of leftists/progressives/independents voted for Biden when they normally wouldn’t have. Unfortunately they have memories the size of a goldfish’s or legitimately hated Biden and didn’t turn out this time and in fact worked to depress the vote as much as possible.

      I saw your deleted comment, so a bit more information. I am currently working with NATO and The UN. Though I can’t ally with a leader who won’t be transparent and meet for a private dinner. In my inherited culture it’s not only a sign of respect but deeply ingrained in history. When tacticians and leaders would meet. It’d be a beautiful and detailed feast. With discussions of plans and otherwise. Most people here act in haste, btw no offence. Voting for a leader is much more than a face, or speeches. To properly vote for someone. One must understand them and to me. That is hearing them face to face speaking. I also contacted Trump with a very bold message. Like how I thought he was the reincarnation of Hitler. Though I came to question certain things but even then. I offer my services as a tactician for hire. Though I will make sure all your ideas are done ethically. You can probably guess he didn’t answer since he only wants loyalist. But I was never going to vote for him for sure.

          Understood. Though if that comment “Fascism is on your hands” was to me. As stated here I’ve already prevented a take over of our government once. Alongside in communication with NATO and The UN and China. To help prevent fascism and expansionism. Though it is only if they decide to listen. So in the end it is on their hands if they do not listen. I am doing my best to prevent or halt events but one can only do so far.

        It matters for all of us, we have a way to contact the whole world at our fingertips.

        What we desperately needed and still need now is to support the DNC without fail, to convince people to vote blue no matter who. With better outreach we can right all the wrongs, with 60 D senators we can pass everything needed to fix this nation.

          The Blue no matter who thing is how you got here. It’s not a good strategy to always be like ‘the other guy is literally Hitler’, also, we’ll copy some of Hitler’s border policies, and we’ll go on the campaign trail with some of the people that enabled the previous guy that we called Hitler.

          If you want to get people that aren’t just committed democrats to vote for you, you need to offer them something, don’t just say the other choice is worse.

            The Trump votes barely changed, the Democrat votes decreased.

            How we got here is explicitly exactly the opposite of us voting blue no matter who.

      Simple I couldn’t vote due to. Kamala deciding to stay silent in my offers. I don’t align with speeches but visions. I asked for a private dinner to discuss these future.
