So Trump is literally now a dictator. He claimed to have “already won” when he was still losing both the popular vote and electoral college. And today he’s executing what’s been his open plan for weeks, to announce with no basis that mail-in votes for Biden are “a fraud.”— Natalie Wynn (@ContraPoints) November 4, 2020

Damn, voting for Biden didn't work. Can't believe electoral institutions weren't on my side. I've exhausted all posibilities so I'll just do nothing

    Sadly for a lot of (internet) leftists, the bulk of their political activity can be summed up as "vocal declarations of support or condemnation for particular people/causes/organizations, without any meaningful contribution to it succeeding/failing". Voting in America is kinda the ultimate spectacle of "loudly declaring support/condemnation for something without any meaningful contribution to its outcome", So "I spent the 5 minutes it took voting for Biden because at least he won't OPENLY proselytize white supremacist followers to commit random acts of terror against minorities" gets turned into "Joe Biden is an important aspect of my political identity".
