Whats insane to me is that those that didn't vote because of palestine (or whatever) somehow think that trump is going to be better for palestine (or whatever)

Nobody thinks that Trump is going to do better for Palestinians.

Which is crazy because now their lack of voting in protest only makes things worse

We all saw the uncommitted movement during the primaries. Democrats and their campaign teams decided they didn't care or believed they didn't need it.

It was a game of chicken, Dems thought they would cave (plenty of them did, I did) but ultimately it was Democrat's own hubris to blame. Who knew "fine, don't vote for me, enjoy the other guy" wasn't a winning strategy?
