The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.

He didn't win, vote-suppression won.

Besides you could argue the non-vote were the more popular choice because people are fed up with FPTP-voting.

that's not an unknown. vote suppression has always been a thing. especially dem voters know this. I'm not talking about the voters; I'm talking about non voters. you don't show up, you vote for whoever comes up. vote suppression did not suppress 86 million votes.

I didn't claim it did, people can protest vote however they wish.

and accept the consequences. this is the result of their protest votes. enjoy.

We still own this as a country. Any other attitude risks not making the necessary changes to prevent this in the future.
