Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's a logical argument and it's a correct argument. Unfortunately it's demonstrably not an effective argument.

The logical summation I derive from this statement is: Blame the voters, as they committed a stupid and illogical act.

The only reasonable explanation for 2016 is that most people assumed Trump had no chance. There is no reasonable explanation for 2024.

I can see how you'd arrive at that conclusion (mostly by ignoring everything else I said), but my point was really that Harris needed a better argument than just that. She never gave people a reason to vote for her rather than just against Trump. That caused 14 million people who previously voted Democrat to stay home.

To a lot of apathetic people we were presented with 2 very similar choices neither of whom gives a shit about the working class. So a lot of people figured "why bother?" and I don't blame them for that. I blame Democrats for abandoning the working class and catering to corporate donors and conservatives. That's not even mentioning doing nothing to stem the flow of genocide supplies to Israel (which caused a lot of Muslim voters to stay home).

So sure, you can blame voters, but it makes more sense to blame the campaign that wasn't even trying to win.
