You realize the majority of left-leaning people who didn't vote for Kamala/Hillary didn't turn around and vote for Trump in turn right?

This is the "if you're not with us you're against us" mentality but the reality is the majority simply didn't vote because they didn't seem the benefit in doing so. What we need are stronger candidates with clear policy in order to get people excited to vote, or more importantly reform our voting from FPTP so that 3rd party candidates aren't considered "spoilers".

Not voting for Kamala/Hilary WAS a vote for Trump.

Blue Maga always says that and yet they never put forward better candidates to solve the unelectability issue.
