the rest of Americans seem the same, they could have prevented Fascism by voting, twice, for a woman
Plenty of voting happened in 2016 and 2024. But you’re discounting all the hysteria built up around the liberal party candidates, all the money changing hands under the table for positive coverage, and all the vote caging, disenfranchising, and assorted electoral ratfvcking that went along with it.
At some point, you’d think Democrats would have noticed how Mail-In Voting and looser election rules rebounded hugely to their favor in 2020. Or how a big activist base of left-liberal voters benefited the party in '06/'08.
But all that activism also came with demands. OWS, BernieBros, BLM, and the folks talking about Defunding ICE like it wasn’t a bad idea. Dems hated that and worked to purge these campaigners from their own party.
They came after TikTok for being Too Wokely Chinese. They came after ACORN for enfranchising too many AA midwesterners. They came after the DSA for fundraising on the wrong candidates and issues. And then they’d see their vote totals dry up to the tune of millions (in 2024 over ten million) votes. All lost to outright hostility or careless neglect.
“Why didn’t you vote for our team?” is a stupid question to ask people who your DOJ allowed purged from the rolls years earlier.
