    Decisions are made by those that show up. If you didn’t vote, you don’t get to bitch when the results aren’t what you wanted.

      Hard not to bitch when, as a citizen of another country, I could never vote, and yet people here still have to deal with the consequences.

      You better believe the rest of the world will be bitching.

        And we will all laugh at you for that hot take. Next time get off your ass and participate if you have an opinion.

            No one is going to kiss your ass just because you shout loudly at them about how broken shit is.

            That’s not how it works.

            And just like how you like to say that no one is entitled to your vote- you’re not entitled to be taken seriously when all you do is demand to be, without doing a damn thing to earn it.

        Oh you do, but you lost the right to be taken seriously by anyone that did. And it’s no big surprise how so many of you that were shouting at everyone before the election have either vanished, or fallen silent about it since.

        Fine, but we’ll take you less seriously.

      Backwards.

      You put american electoralism up on a pedestal and tout its sanctity and your faith in the process. The process yielded Trump. If you truly believe in the sanctity of american electoralism, you now have no grounds to complain.

      If you vote, you don’t get to complain.
