Essentially, there have been two reactions over on grad today:

  1. I didn’t vote, neither of the candidates were going to stop the war in the Gaza Strip, therefore, there could be no good outcome for the US, therefore I can’t be held accountable
  2. I voted for a third party, which Republicans will have to acknowledge and respect

    Regarding third parties, leftists like to claim this giant reservoir of support just if Democrats listened to them, but they never show up in an election at all. Jill Stein and other leftist candidates didn’t win even a percent of the vote. Trump won an outright majority of the popular vote.

    Why listen to a group that’s just a blip?

      Exactly. There’s not much split vote because people listened, there’s no record low turnout from the looks of it so far, Democrats is set to lose no matter what because majority of american went out and voted for trump. Lefties always twist the fact to fit their view.

      that and anything done is never enough so they are still going to teach them a lesson till they do enough, which again nothing is ever enough.
