You could have voted against Trump.

You did have a choice as the democrats held primaries that year and Biden won the primaries. Unfortunately he withdrew afterwards and there was a scramble to find a replacement, but you don’t get to rewrite history that the primaries didn’t occur.

If you didn’t vote for Harris then you were fine with Trump as a possibility. Own your decision.

How about this: if you voted, you signed up in a system that says you're okay with the outcome of the situation.

How is that not true? "I did what I could"... sure. So did I.

But I wouldn't have been okay with either outcome, so I didn't sign up saying that after an election we'd all just be like "whelp, good game guess I should go back to brunch".

So here I am, having to go organize against ICE because of the shitty political system that you reify. Thanks, asshole. If you voted, then you're okay with the outcome- that's what it means to vote.
