Ok, let's point out how poorly timed this meme is.
The election isn't until November. It's July.
We did vote, and we can't vote for any state or district that we are not in. Democrats won 2020, and avoided total disaster in 2022.
Americans cannot and never have had the ability to vote in SCOTUS.
The last chance the Democrats had at preventing this shit show was under Obamas first term when he could have briefly stacked the courts.
Americans did have the ability to vote in SCOTUS. it's called the general election. and they did in 2016, except democratic voters didn't feel like it. so now you get 6-3 decisions that are dismantling the whole country.
Yeah, the FBI director got ahold of Anthony Wiener's laptop because he's a fucking awful dirtbag, and at some point his wife had logged into her work email, so IDENTICAL information from The State Department was on it, so FBI big brain decides to make a big ol press conference to reopen the case against Hillary Clinton days before the election just in case maybe there was more than just duplicate information. Except, he already knew it was all duplicate information. Everyone with a brain new it was all duplicate information.
What a brilliant guy. He deserves a lot more blame than he's ever gotten.
Blaming voters for not voting hard enough in 2016 is pretty asinine.
Hillary had the most popular votes. But she didn’t do a good job campaigning in the states that mattered and banked too hard on the “i’m not trump” factor.
Blaming the voters takes the blame away from the parties that deserve it more, like Clinton, the DNC, etc.
The base voted. The left even voted, despite the party's claims. Her result is what happens when you take your victory for granted and insult the demographics you need in swing states.
God forbid we point out problems and demand reforms while the politicians are asking for our vote. All protests must apparently wait until the president is safely ensconced in office and can ignore us again.
So put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye, because this is what voting blue no matter who gets you.
We are fucked, and the DNC doesn't care.
Prove me wrong.
We didn't "vote blue no matter who" in 2016 and trump got 3 supreme court picks. If we did Hillary would have gotten them instead and we wouldn't be here. So you're literally wrong.
We absolutely did.
