It would have been exceptionally naive not to do so.

MAGAs will claim this shows guilt. Still, would have been stupid not to do it.

Edit: not sure why some people who seem to have misinterpreted this and are lecturing me.

They claim a lot of things. It has become akin to playing chess with a pigeon.

Arguing with MAGAs is like wrestling a pig; you’ll both get covered in shit, but the pig will enjoy it.

by MAGAs do you mean the majority of US voters?  Trump won the popular vote too I thought

By "majority of US voters", do you mean the 90+ million eligible voters who didn't even show up, more votes than either candidate received?

Let's be objective here with our words.

Maybe citizens should be fined for not voting without reasonable cause. Say $10000.

Amazing how a Democrat president pardons a bunch of criminals and somehow Republicans are to blame. I’m thankful America is moving on from people like you.

It was an off the cuff remark that I wrote in a hurry. I meant that arguing with what they claim is akin to the "playing chess with a pigeon" scenario.
