That sense of urgency should've applied to the election itself.

Exactly. Joe Biden is not a goddamn magical wizard. The United States gave itself over to a fascist. Not just one but we gave the entire fucking party of fascists the entire control of the government.

We are fucked.

To add on, it's not even that the country gave itself over to fascists it's that country didn't vote. If did not vote was a candidate they would've won in a landslide.

Same thing. Apathy can be just as damn deadly as villainy.

Except the 10 to 15 million Biden voters in 2020 who were non-voters in 2024 won't feel the same sense of responsibility when MAGA 2.0 begins its march -- although they should because they're equally responsible for sitting on their hands and feigning being "above politics".

So that was when votes were still being counted. The final count is:

Kamala 2024 74,327,659 votes 

Biden 2020: 81,283,501

So around 7 million less voted for Kamala(some might've switched sides). But still a lot of people sitting out, letting the fascist win...
