The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.

          that’s good on your part, but you’re not the American people. the people voted for mango mussolini, and that’s exactly what they got. in elections past I would agree with you. but not this time.

        Winning the popular vote doesn’t mean everyone voted for him. Besides, realistically he didn’t even do that.

          I guess you missed the part where OP wrote “NOT VOTING IS VOTING”.

          In the 2020 election, 81,283,501 people voted for Biden while 74,223,975 voted for Trump.

          In the 2024 election, 75,017,613 voted for Harris, while 77,302,580 voted for Trump.

          Thata 155,507,476 - 152,230,193 = 3,187,283 fewer people voting.

          Biden got 81.2m votes vs Harris getting 75m votes… in other words, people who showed up to vote for Biden in 2020 sat out and didn’t vote in 2024, which directly resulted in Trump winning.

          Not voting is voting, get it now?

            I commented saying that I don’t think Trump got 77,302,580 votes. Get it now? Bringing up Bidens and Harris’s vote count is irrelevant.
