either NOT voting or voting third party, then they don't give a damn about Civil Rights, because THAT IS WHAT THIS ELECTION WAS ABOUT

In case anyone didn't realize the SC has been slowly whittling down Civil Rights, and whether it was 2000, 2016, or 2024, those who refused to vote for the Democratic nominee voted against Civil Rights, Supreme Court Justices who support Civil Rights, etc.

And those actions have not only lost the SC for decades, but a probability our Democracy as well.

I have no patience for convenient protester who refused to vote when it counted.

Have a good day.
