    I’m going to blame [Undecided] if that happens, but we all know [Undecided] is going to become vapor just after the election and then reroll and alt character masquerading as a victim of their own ignorance come November…

    So yeah… we all know they won’t be around to take their bow and own it.

      I’ve noticed that it’s not only undecideds that disappear after the election. It’s also everyone that voted for the last Republican after the inevitable (because they’re terrible at governance) crisis occurs. I remember when George W. Bush’s presidency ended in complete disaster, and suddenly there was nobody that voted for GWB to be found.

      Ultimately, if Trump wins, there will be plenty of blame games afterwards, but, in my opinion, they won’t matter. That talk may occupy a lot of paper space in the quaint period between him winning the election and January 20th, 2025, but a second Trump presidency will be such an utter disaster that the talk of “how we got here” will be rendered irrelevant by the urgent need to survive the many self-created crises that it’ll cause.

      And I suspect that you’re right, it will suddenly be impossible afterwards to find people who were on the fence about supporting Harris.

        If you’re going around asking people who they voted for, after any election, expect to be ignored by many.

          It’s not that. They’re all active on online forums and in media and then suddenly none of them can be found.

      This rhetoric is sure to convince all those Muslims in Michigan whose family members are being blown up by US bombs. Keep up the good work, neolib crusader!

        listen bro, it’s the will of the voters, if they decide to do that, and they end up with trump being elected, that’s not my problem.

        Idk why the harris campaign has to specifically cater towards the muslim population of MI here, seems rather odd to me.

            yeah maybe. It might not do anything either.

            Could do anything, Michigan may not even matter at all. It’s probably more impactful to mobilize moderate voters nationally (there are more of them) than to mobilize a single subset of a Michigan voters.
