5. Not lazy, complicit. 89 million people couldn't be bothered to vote.

Couldn't fucking bother. Fuck them.

77 million voted FOR this, combined with the 89 million that put their seal of approval on the result by not voting at all, knowing better. That's not lazy.

And not one to not fairly put some blame on the democrats, as we have to be honest with ourselves. The party knew how old Biden would be, basically knew they should have been planning for someone else to be the nominee in 2024, yet did nothing though they had years to plan it. Then blamed Biden and Harris for not having their shit together. That's not lazy.
