How do you know how they voted to begin with? Maybe they didn’t vote for those leaders. You know votes in red states aren’t unanimous, right? So, again, sort of sounding like you’re saying they’re getting what they deserve…
Word. I’m here in Ohio and my wife and I didn’t vote for any of this shit. We don’t plan on staying here too too much longer, but there are hundreds of thousands here who also think the cheatin’-ass politicians here are ruining people’s lives but don’t have the luxury to move and are thus stuck here. Fortunately, we did show up back in August to block some underhanded GOP bullshit designed to kill reproductive rights, and hopefully will show up again in November to codify those rights, against their machinations.
I’m not talking about people who don’t vote, I’m talking about people who don’t vote for anti-choice Republicans but live in red states. It didn’t work out so well for them, did it?
Bro, as a woman in a “good state”, abortion rights (it’s not abortion rights, it’s bodily autonomy) did not survive. They are thinly-veiled and hanging on by a thread.
It took me 3 years, 5 doctors, and 2 ‘health care providers’ to be granted the right to sterilization and I was still asked “what if you meet a guy and HE wants a baby?!” multiple times. There were mental health councilors and board decisions. They insisted I would want more because I would meet the right man, even after having an abortion post-child. That was 12 years ago during the Obama administration in a dependable blue state. That shit is NOT sacrosanct and never was.
No, what happened to them is terrible and I hope every one of them remembers how badly their leaders failed them on election day

I’m not 100% on Throwaway’s side here, but I don’t think that’s what they meant.
You can’t throw away your only voice and then complain about not being heard.
You don’t vote, then you get exactly what you voted for, what other people want.

Well that comes back to things like gerrymandering, first past the post, non-preferential voting, no mandatory voting.
You get what you vote for, if the people who want what you want don’t vote then don’t complain that those who did vote got what they voted for.
