No, I and many others didn’t, actually, maybe learn how our voting system works before throwing gover half the country into a bus with less than half the country
I think you mean “over”. (Thanks, I make many typos, just returning the favor)
And… Didn’t Trump get the popular vote this time around? So more there were more voters for Trump than anyone else?
Idk. I don’t live there but I know your voting system well enough… Since everyone wants to talk about it, apparently.
The fact that he won, even by a small amount, which… In this case, he won by more than a small amount, is the point. You and your fellow Americans knew what you were signing up for, and you knew what he was saying he will do this time around. None of this was a surprise. He’s been talking deportation and tariffs for over a year. Now that they’re here, suddenly a lot of people are regretting their decisions… Again, this was not a surprise. They voted for this and yet take issue when this exact thing happens.
There may be many people who didn’t vote that could have, who would have voted against Trump, but the fact is, by not voting, you are implicitly agreeing with whatever decision is made by your fellow citizens. Putting the decision in their hands. As someone once said “if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”
Either you voted for it, you were okay with letting others decide and you’re complicit, or, you were part of the minority of people who voted against Trump. One of these three things is true for each and every American.
I’m sorry, but this is what the majority of the people in your country wanted.
The rest of your comment shows that to be untrue, especially:
but the fact is, by not voting, you are implicitly agreeing with whatever decision is made by your fellow citizens
You’re pinning it on the federal level, but people choose to vote or not on the state level. Californians who didn’t vote had their vote go to Kamala by your logic, not Trump. Follow that through and you get more votes “for” the Dems than the repubs
Assuming you meant “voted”:

Everyone knows how your system works, especially your politicians. You can’t blame your voting system for your decisions.
Clearly not
Case in point
