If you don’t vote or vote 3rd party in a presidential election, you are an idiot whether you end up being responsible for the outcome or not.

If you don’t exercise your right to vote, especially in an election like this, you are an idiot.

If you vote 3rd party when a 3rd party has absolutely no shot at winning, you are an idiot.

It doesn’t matter whether you live in a blue state or not. If for no other reason than contributing to the popular vote.

In 2016 we could at least say Trump lost the popular vote. Before this election Republicans had only won the popular vote once since 1988 and not since Bush Jr. The more the will of the people clearly gets ignored and the loser of the popular vote becomes president anyway, the more pissed off Americans are going to get about that, and the more support we get from Americans to pressure our representatives to fix this shit electoral process.

Not to mention these idiots could live in a state that’s blue but not solidly blue and that state could possibly flip red because they assumed blue was safe in their state. Do you think non-voters and 3rd party presidential voters are smart enough to keep an eye on that kind of thing?

Being in a solidly blue or red state does not absolve non-voters and 3rd party voters from being idiots.

Want definitive proof?

There are 244m eligible voters in the United States.

77m voted for Trump. Idiots.

2.6m voted 3rd party. Idiots.

90m didn’t vote. Idiots.

90+77+2.6 = 169.6

That means 170m of 244m eligible voters are braindead stupid. That’s 69.7%. So we essentially have a 70% failure rate amongst eligible voters for maintaining our democracy.

Yeah, Americans, in general, are STUUUUUUUUUPID.

Yeah, we’re in a declining nation and it’s probably not going to get better anytime soon.

What is oligarchy?

Something you live in.

Maybe you should have fucking Googled it sooner.

Yeah, I’m sure if Biden had Trump and company murdered, the majority of Americans that voted for Trump and company would be totally fine with that and build “moments” in honor of Biden, who they see as their enemy.

Are you high?

I can’t believe the state of leadership in the US these days.

Our representatives are a reflection of our voters.

“But money determines our representatives.”

Yeah, because we suck at maintaining a democracy and slowly allowed that reality to come to pass. If we voted more intelligently we’d have more intelligent representatives and money wouldn’t have the influence it does. Other countries have better, more intelligent representatives. We just suck.

How about stop fascist from taking over the government.

He can’t. The majority of voting Americans want it and voted for it.

Been super happy with NordVPN for years.

People will complain about them advertising on YouTube. Why would I care about that? Companies advertise.

People will complain about them not having port forwarding. This doesn’t matter for the majority of VPN users. If it does, use a different one.

As far as I know, this only matters if you’re hosting a VPN server or torrenting, and you can just buy a static IP from Nord for cheap, like all their services. Personally, I don’t torrent on VPN because I just ignore all the DMCAs I get and have never had a problem, probably because I’m not a notorious uploader. And it wouldn’t affect your ability to download torrents if you don’t have port forwarding on VPN, just your ability to upload.

For the vast majority of VPN users just looking for anonymity while they surf/download, port forwarding it not necessary.

And, personally, if I did need it, I’d find a VPN service that provides it without its CEO prostrating themselves to a rapist.

Just saying, the nation has sunk lower, but I don’t know that’s a lot lower than where we were when we were kids.

Definitely disagree. A convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who incited an insurrection against our government, illegally attempted to overturn an election, fumbled his response to the greatest American crisis since WW2, removed women’s rights, and attempts to divide Americans whenever his mouth opens is about to be sworn in as our leader.

Eh. I’ve read about multiple audits of NordVPN. All the data available suggests NordVPN is highly secure. And I don’t entertain conspiracy theories so I’m just going to stick with the data available.

So…piece of shit?

The co-founder and CEO of Proton?

Many, many millions of dollars.

Explanation?

I mean, North Korea exists. But yeah, Americans are extremely propagandized.

Another tech dipshit, whose wealth allows him to exist outside the realm of reality, bending the knee to an anti-democratic felon rapist so he can get some handouts.

Pathetic loser.

Growing up, if you had told me half or more of America would end up elevating a rapist to the presidency and prostrating themselves at his feet, I’d have laughed you out of the room. This nation has sunk LOW.

NordVPN is superior in every way. If you have ProtonVPN, dump it and swap to Nord.

So true.

I’ve watched multiple family members retire and only then start asking questions about the society they grew up in. But not too hard, cuz they’re old and tired and very much set in their ways. My father refuses to believe there’s any better way to do things than the way we currently do them, despite me pointing out that at one point it was normal for children to work 12 hour shifts, so obviously things can change for the better.

Both my parents worked from the time they were in high school to the time they retired. Unbroken. Never got to explore. Just plugged into the system the entire time. Neither one of them know what to do with themselves now because they never had hobbies. Go to work. Come home. Take care of kid. Go to sleep. Repeat.

I’ve been through a few periods of unemployment and I learned so much during those periods. In so many ways. Things I would absolutely not had time for if I was pounding out 40+ hours a week. I remember during a summer I was unemployed and had no money to spare, so every day I would just grab a book and bike to the river and lay on the beach and read. It was amazing. We all need more time for things like that. Or you know, actually raising our kids instead of hoping the system does it for us while we’re at work.

Americans can’t even get on the same page about objective reality. We’re NEVER going to have this. It requires the populace to be in solidarity to demand the change. That’s simply not going to happen in America.

I like how it’s being banned after the election when the damage is already done.

Edit: Calm down guys. You’ll get a TikTok replacement. There’s always a replacement. Your life will go on. You’ll have other social media networks to be misinformed by.

It is, undeniably, working.

True.

And the saddest part? The majority of Americans are so feeble and uninformed that they HELPED him do it and idolize him for it.

It’s like a poorly written made for TV movie.
