Summary
Fox News’s attempt to find support for Donald Trump in Greenland backfired, as most residents expressed disinterest in his proposals.
While one Trump supporter was found, the majority of Greenlanders interviewed criticized Trump’s comments and expressed a preference for remaining under Danish rule.
Despite these setbacks, Trump continues to advocate for acquiring Greenland, citing economic security concerns.
Yeah not voting is the issue, it’s not the systemic flaws in the way we run campaigns and elections. No no, it’s everyone else. You couldn’t possibly have a hand in it because you voted right? Right?
The ballot presented the status quo (which is far less than ideal, sure, but included a normal human) vs outright Fascism with a Capital F, and millions of people shirked their civic duty because they didn’t like the dem candidate enough.
When Fascism is setting fires on your doorstep and you’re too busy arguing about the feng shui in the living room to bother calling in firefighters, yeah, it’s your fault.
Like it or not, the biggest group to sway 2024 were abstainers. If the number of voters who turned out for dems in 2020 had fucking bothered, we wouldn’t be staring down the barrel of historic progressive policy rollbacks, cuts to social services that will kill the disabled and elderly, the funnelling of your own money into the pockets of billionaires on a scale never before imagined, the systematic dismantling of democracy, and the institution of a theocracy.
If you are one of those who couldn’t be bothered for whatever reason, congrats, and you need to sit down and shut the fuck up for the next 4 years or so. You surrendered your right to have your opinion considered when you failed to do the bare minimum to stop a convicted felon, conman, and traitor from gaining power over us all again. We fucking warned you.
e: just saw your other reply. If you were disenfranchised, my comment is not meant for you, and I’m sorry for my vitriol – that’s a travesty, and that should not have happened to you. My comment is meant for the ‘both-aiders’ who were (and still are) everywhere leading up to the election.
It’s literally the least and most important thing you can do.
Agreed. Some people were disqualified and weren’t allowed to vote, I’m one of those people. Hence fundamentally flawed system and the pats on the back about voting are at best mastrabatory affirmations of congratulations.
Well that sucks and I hope we can fix it so you can vote. It will be harder now that the cheaters are writing all the laws again but it wasn’t easy before and we did it.
Duh, that’s why I brought it up, not voting is a symptom not a cause.
intentionally not voting when one can, is definitely a cause.
No it’s an effect. Demoralized voters don’t vote because they don’t feel their vote matters and they’re not wrong. Like 50% of votes are in states where they’re meaningless.

That’s not an argument, that’s the distinct lack of argument.
Ed: also wrong comment chain boss, but don’t let reality get in the way of your opinion.
Reality? Lol. Yeah bruh your definitely going to fundamentally change the whole system one non-vote at a time.
I couldn’t vote. Learn to read dipshit.
