90,000,000 closet Nazis who chose to be selfish, meaner, and dumber than they usuall...
@nprofile1q...
Sorry, but the claim that 90 million who didn't vote are closet Nazis is just name calling. It is an assertion that lacks both empathy and an understanding of the facts and human voting patterns.
A large percentage of those 90 million are people of color and low income workers. Many are anarchists who are by their very ideology anti-authoritarian and anti-fascist. Millions are from states, like California, where Harris was so far ahead that their abstention would've made no difference. Additionally, there are many abstainers who equate Israeli treatment of Palestinians with fascism. So, to them, voting for Harris, who refused to distance herself from the Biden admin's support for the genocide, was also a vote for fascism.
In poll after poll, and in interview after interview, those who abstain from voting give rational reasons that have to do with how voting hasn't changed the things most important or urgent in their lives.
So, no, not voting is not the same as giving a vote to Republicans, particularly in a place where the Dems won by a landslide. And even in "battleground" states, a non-vote is often a principled vote against both candidates.
