I'm Australian and cannot legally vote in US elections. So instead of voting against Trump, I campaigned against him online by telling people to vote for Harris. And campaigned for more refugee visas here in Australia.

In early 2024 I also saw a lot of people say "There's no way people are going to vote for Trump again after his disastrous first term, so let's use this election cycle to push for a better candidate than Joe, even if it costs the Ds a few votes"

Yeah....

    Well yeah, the dems didn't push for a better candidate than Joe, that was the problem. It was basically the same candidate, just younger and a woman, and even that was only after nominating Biden at first

    That messaging was so loud it was clear from the beginning, and i am not from/in that continent.

    One day it will be tablecloth knowledge that the system is not about who leads - its about how quickly they can push the billionaire agenda. It doesn't matter who wins the 'elections', they make a mint and will continue to do so.

    They need us and hate us, playing ball is our foul.
