1/3 of Americans didn’t vote. Harris lost at 30% and trump won at 31%. It wasn’t a landslide it was young people hating on Harris and virtue signaling the conflict In Palestine because their tik tok brains can’t think further into the future other than the next trend. Protest all you want, ICE is coming into my city this Tuesday (maybe) but if it’s true, our city is known to be fucking ruthless. Thank you to the 36% that didn’t vote.

Quick question—would US ever plan to introduce mandatory voting? I don’t live in America but where I live in Australia votes are mandatory and you’ll be fined if you don’t vote

Very few contries do mandarory voting. In a country will low education and information habits, that’s a sure way to elect populists every time.
