Which I also find understandable. I disagree with non-voters, but if both choices are terrible, and fight against what you want, I understand why people wouldn't want to vote.
Maybe people wouldn't call him "Genocide Joe" if he hadn't backed a genocide. I always find it amazing that people blame the voters, instead of blaming the people with the power, the platform, and the money, who chose genocide over winning the election.
Or.... It could be that people have lost faith in the Democratic party. Look at their current approval rating. Look at Biden's terrible presidency. Look at Biden and Harris' terible campaigns. Look at the issues and policies that they ran on. All of that pushed people away from them based on the polling.
It's easy to blame foreign influence, but it's more productive to figure out why the supposedly left party ran to the right, and alienated their voting base. Did the Russian try to influence the election? Of course, I'd be surprised if they didn't. But from what I saw, the Demcrats did more damage to themselves than the Russians could have hoped for.
My understanding is that for about 1/3 people, coffee acts as a crazy flush system
A lot of what he talks about prior to previous insurrections are pretty similar to what's happening now.

I'm game, if they'll let me in! I've been applying to jobs, and doing language learning for a couple of years now.

Once complete, the sand mandala's ritualistic dismantling is accompanied by ceremonies and viewing to symbolize Buddhist doctrinal belief in the transitory nature of material life.
And how much is the new one raking in? They swapped out the person, but kept the problem.
Let me donate directly to Firefox development. Stop giving their terrible executives giant piles of money.

I feel like "lets stop bombing children", or "maybe people shouldn't go bankrupt because of healthcare", or "maybe the rich should pay their taxes", or "stop backing a genocide", or "we should probably get rid of torture facilities" are a far cry from "obliged to only vote for perfect candidates that they agree with 100% on everything."
I'm all for voting for a candidate I don't totally agree with, I do it every time. But lets not pretend that the Democrats are doing a good job of reaching out to their voter-base. There's a reason their current polling is so low.
