Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I gave their profile a cursory look, but I couldn't find this in the few handfuls of posts I looked at. Do you have a link to a comment or two showing this, maybe I missed it?

Can you not put words in my mouth? I'm hoping for some sweet karma against Harris for messing up the Democrat campaign so hard and causing four more years of Trump.
Blaming Harris for that is just idiotic and I don't believe you arguing in good faith when you say this shit.
I mean believe whatever you want then I guess. If you can't believe that her promise to build a border wall didn't sit well with democrat voters, that's on you.
And what do you think Trump is going to do? Enjoy your concentration camps & fascism while the world freefalls into a climate collapse.
I literally never said anything that implies I'm happy about Trump's election why do you insist that I'm secretly a Trumper? Is it that hard to believe that someone can criticize Harris without being a Trump supporter?
Because it's a two party system there. You either get Trump, or you get Harris. So running around and arguing that potential Harris voters didn't vote for her because she (according to you) may does very lightweight variants of what Trump would do 500x times worse, is just bullshit. You don't like Harris supporting Israel, so you vote for Trump? What do you think Trump will do? The guy asked if they can't just nuke the entire middle east. So if you don't want Trump, you would've had to vote for Harris. Anything else would be in support of Trump. That's how it works in the US.
I mean yes, and enough people didn't know that or, more likely, just didn't care. Voters' default state is staying at home; they need to be pushed to go to the polls. Harris failed at that. Whatever the reasons may be, I still don't understand why you're blaming me for it. I'm not even American what do you expect me to do here?
Harris didn't fail at that. It's the voters / non voters fault.
No matter whose fault it was, it was Harris and her campaign managers' job to make sure this doesn't happen. Blaming the voters is about as productive as yelling about your controller being broken. Or will it sound better if it's Bernie saying it?
It's the voters responsibility to vote and to make an informed decision. Or to formulate it differently: You get what you vote for. And your analogy makes no sense either, unless you're saying voters are controlled little drones that can't do anything without user input.
