    In a winner-take-all election, anything but a vote for the runner-up is an endorsement of whoever wins.

    Yes, this system is stupid. But we’re not going to ever fix it by pretending that the rules of the game aren’t what they are. Any eligible voter who didn’t vote for Trump or Harris make a clear statement that Donald and protect 2025 were just fine by them. Regardless if they stayed home, voted for a vanity campaign, or just left the POTUS choice blank.

      Yes. If you did not vote for Harris in an essentially two-party election, you condoned Trump and allowed him to do everything he is doing now. You can’t pretend you had no part in it, because you supported his election.

      If you voted for Harris, you voted to stop Trump and Project 2025. Ie, you believed in our country, wrong or right.

      Otherwise, you decided that our country was no longer worth preserving, and you handed it to people who told you they would tear it apart to “get even” with half its citizens.
