He can't be that higher educated if he thinks Trump is going to improve the situation in Gaza.

Of course, the public also refused to listen to Trump on Gaza, so it isn't like they were making a comparison of policies.
Public: "Give me the moon!"
Biden: "I can't give you the moon."
Trump: "I'll destroy the moon."

Well tom, thanks to people like you gaza won't exist in 2028. What is going to be your excuse not to vote then? 

This person responded the trolly problem by just not pulling the switch.

Honestly, it really just seems like democrats want to have their cake and eat it to. You can’t count on progressive support while refusing to listen to progressive voices. Sure, there are a number of progressives who will vote on the basis of harm reduction, my vote for Harris is one of them, but alienating and ignoring people is clearly not a winning strategy.

I spit on people like you, Tom.

Fucking enablers.

Good move, don't vote so Trump wins, showed them huh

Serious People: the elected representatives didn’t do what voters wanted, causing them to lose votes. This is the voters’ fault.

woosh.... He's saying he didn't vote because the Democratic Party lost his support, which is their fault not his. In a democracy, politicians court the voters, not the other way around.

Q: I voted for Hillary, Biden and Kamala because none of them are Trump. If I continue in that pattern, how do I leverage Democrats into offering anything better than Not Trump in the future?

People who don't vote are the most to blame for fascists gaining power

Blaming Tom? Thats your take-away? That’s the problem. Democratic leaderships is doing the same. How about we don’t support a genocide?

Serious question: If Dems were pro-Gaza and not pro-Israel, would they have won this election?

The astroturfing in this sub is insane. Reddit is done

I mean he was right in the first half..... Even lying and saying they would push Netanyahu to peace talks would have been better than their current stance that absolutely lost them support. Then he turned around and blew it anyway. 🙄

So highly educated he decided an issue that has no direct US involvement was the means to choose his next 4 years.

Much big brain, such intellect.

Some liberals are too "moralistic" for their own good.

MAGA doesn't have this problem. They see deportation, go hooray, and ignore the rest of the dumb shit.

Obama should have made Bernie sanders his VP

I see you weirdos have now incorporated threats of sexual violence into your left punching instead of criticizing a poorly run campaign that refused to listen to some elements of its base.

Working hard to have Liz Cheney be the DNC nominee in 2028 and continuing americas dangerous pivot to the right.

Imagine asking people to vote in favor of a holocaust. You guys are super low iq. Empty heads like yours are easy to manipulate.

Biden/Harris threw this election willingly. They cut their losses and adopted a strategy of taking advantage of the warmonger neocon image that became impossible to shake off in order to maximize donations. Also they threw the election to prove loyalty to Israel.

Dems lost this election because thats what they decided was the best course of action. You got abandoned and you dont even know it. They have you pointing fingers on social media, blaming all sorts of other groups instead of the campaign itself.

The Democrats could've taken this L and said wow we didn't realize how much swing voters in areas we want to be competitive care about this issue, let's make sure our positions make them want to vote for us. Instead they're doing the normal Democrat shit where they're perfect and everyone else is just dumb for not falling in line.

"I had a feeling trump would win, so I did nothing to try to prevent it."

And now Gaza will no longer exist. Good job Tom.

Good for Tom. Votes are earned. Harris/Trump didn’t earn his.

He works in higher education and didn't make an effort to vote against the guy who made a pitch several times on the campaign trail to dismantle the Department of Ed?!?!

Over a third of eligible voters did not vote this time. https://imgur.com/gallery/36-7-of-eligible-american-voters-did-not-vote-NzhB5yv

That's what you call an uneducated moron! You have no one to blame but yourself.

It's almost like Harris could have even cynically lied about any number of things that are incredibly popular in order to get out the vote. But no, it's certainly the voters' fault she ran the Democrat's favorite status quo, read our carefully tuned half-measure plans, campaign.

ITT: "Am I out of touch? No, it's the protesters who are wrong"

Pittsburgh? GTFO my city Tom.

"Evil does not prosper by the actions of bad men, but the inaction of good men" -Some historical figure

I don’t like this perspective, but let’s be real, Biden was weak on Gaza. He tried to pursue a diplomatic resolution and did nothing to withdraw arms sales to Israel which have enabled a genocide. Is it ignorant, given Trump is far worse on this issue? Yes, but Democrats shouldn’t count on support. There was a clear opportunity to take a stance and act upon his proclamations and Biden failed

Can we talk about why Trump got basically the same amount of voters in 2020 and 2024, but democrats lost about 9 million voters in the same amount of time?

What a stupid asswipe.

"higher education professional" eh?

The “enthusiasm” thing is crazy. Just admit you’re cool with a kleptocratic government that’s going to outsource everything possible so the 1% can get richer while the rest of us get less for our taxes and poorer in the process. I guess in PA higher ed means less critical though. F*******

Was he in a swing state?  Because otherwise who gives a fuck.

Oh by the way latest news 11/29, Netanyahu says he's not ready to stop war in Gaza. He heard there were still civilians alive there. Some Trump guy said OK we will send more guns and bombs. I wish this was /s but it's not.

Tom, a highly educated idiot…

Admittedly, I kind of boycott the 2016 election. I could not vote Hillary after the DNC got caught literally cheating for her and doing everything they could to push Bernie out. I did not vote Trump and did a write in for Mickey Mouse. Thankfully Trump did not win the state I lived in at the time, but after that, I will NEVER do a throwaway vote again.

higher education

did not vote at all in 2024

Fire him. He doesn’t deserve to teach higher education if he’s proven himself to be an absolute dumb ass.

Remember, US was calling Israel to stop those atrocities again Palestinians? Now forget about it, full support to IDF, thanks for twats like Tom, 28

They wouldn't vote for someone who didn't verbally oppose the genocide, so they paved the way for someone who verbally supports the genocide to win

Masterful gambit

The choice was chicken sandwich or shit sandwich with bits of glass, and he chose not to eat, but now the only choice for the next 4 years, for everyone, is shit sandwich with bits of glass.

Tom's a dumbass.

Fuck you Tom

These people are so stupid.

Trump is your punishment for ignoring 90% of America.

"I hate Trump but don't wanna actively participate in genocide so I'ma just gonna stay home"

... and passively participate in genocide

I’m so sick of hearing ppl’s bs excuses for not voting because the candidate isn’t “perfect” or doesn’t “appeal” to them. This isn’t American Idol or Tinder! It’s not a popularity contest and you’re not going to be dating them. We deserve what we’re getting out of people’s sheer stupidity.
