I do not always agree with the person you're replying to, but to suggest that they don't ever have criticism for the US is extremely disingenuous.

What they're arguing is that there are over seventy-five million of us that actively voted against this, and those people do not deserve the blame here.

Do you know how many people that actually is? I mean truly?

According to a quick Google search, the amount of people who voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 is larger than the entire populations of every country after Germany on the list of nations by population. That's from number 20 to number 234.

That's the amount of people who voted. For Kamala. People who were eligible, registered, and showed up even after Dems pulled their candidate last minute.

More people than in all of Thailand. More people than in all of France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Turkey, South Korea... I will stop because it would literally be easier to just list the 19 nations with a higher population than total Kamala Harris voters.

Now spread that over a land mass the size of China, and maybe you'll start to understand why people in Washington State aren't "making a day of it" to bring a guillotine to the white house (and do what, exactly? I mean talk about empty fucking gestures) in DC. A literal continent away. A literal physical impossibility for a working person to do.

I literally haven't seen that come up. My eyes have been opened about this "Canadians are so nice" thing though. Total bullshit.

Edit: The fact that you bring up Russians out of the blue like this on Lemmy is interesting for me personally too because my go-to example, on this topic, of what I wouldn't do is wish ill on the Russian people as a whole because of Putin's misdeeds. The reason it is my go-to example is that I know Putin has a lot of public support there.

It will never be okay to wish death and despair on large groups of innocent people because of what oligarchs do. It just makes you seem like a thoughtless and heartless bigoted piece of shit if you do it.
