It wasn't one man .... it was the whole nation that just stood there and watched him walk in. They might have complained about it but they did the bare minimum which wasn't enough to stop him.
I've lost so much respect for America due to this orange clown.
What would you have done different?
I'm in Canada and I've always supported the third candidate consistently. I always vote the New Democratic Party, the NDP in our province and national elections ... I'll even volunteer a bit of time and support the local campaigns and I donate to them annually. And it never matters to me, if polls show that they are definitely going to lose, I'm still voting for them. Even if people claim that my vote is 'splitting' the vote, I'll still hold onto my principles and vote for who I want, not play some game to try to choose the one I disagree with the least.
But that's not really relevant to your comment. I'm specifically asking about your assertion that everyone "just let him walk in", so what would you have done different about that?
almost half of the participating voters did exactly what you did - Voted for somebody else. It’s weird to me that you think they “don’t do enough“, but that’s all you’ve done.
it was not the whole nation. Are you lying intentionally or have you been told this?
Yeah I see people commenting about punching a Nazi. They all just stand there while ice agents kidnap people. America is soft, weak, and ignorant now.
