OP, stop blaming the victim. She got lied to and betrayed. She isn't voting for the rapist again.
This is a prime example when we, the actual leftists, say: Electoralism is fascist praxis.
Stop demanding justice in First Past the Post Representation.
I'd be a bit less mad at neutral voters if they did any direct action. Everyone I know who goes to protests and does arrestable actions also votes. But every non voter I know doesn't do anything of the sort. They think abstaining is the only thing they need to do. The voter abstinence movement is a distraction to keep people from doing direct action.
Lied to by who? Everyone knew Donald and Jeff were bffs.
If she didn’t, she should have done some homework.
Don’t infantilize a grown woman.
To Jena Lisa Jones, the survivor of the child eating raping island, who only sought Trump as the only candidate that platformed releasing the files: Because Kamala Harris wouldn't.
You and I knew Trump was bfffne with Jeffrey, but she never connected the two, or the digressive victimhood of Trump. Only 15% of the 🇺🇲 population had the cognitive skills to connect Trump with her rapists.
When I say, you & I, I mean it: we are a minority.
Now you're expecting the abused to be able to read, and research.
Have you ever tried teaching an illiterate person how to read as a late adult‽
Wut.
wait, your reading comprehension is below mines‽
You win. There was definitely no way to know Donald was a pedophile rapist in 2016. Or 2020. Or 2024.
This isn't about winning you 🤬. If you can't teach the illiterate how to spot liars and rapists, you will get Donald Trumps over and over again.
This is a literacy problem, and you're blaming the illiterate for not knowing how to research.
