While we understand the fear & anxiety that incites this behavior, yeah, gentle reminder that lashing out at soft targets (i.e. accessible people whose responses you feel are predictably safe) is often emotionally exploitative behavior & misdirects energy better used for reflection and re-grouping.
While we advocate for voting, we also feel there's little value in pointing fingers for election results, esp. in purposefully convoluted systems. In fact, such a blame game only serves to divide the People as certain agendas clearly want. So, please encourage voting, but don't POLICE the vote.
I really hate this take. You have no idea why people didn't vote. We live in a country with systemic voter suppression. Election Day isn't a national holiday in the US and there's a host of mechanisms set up to encourage people in many states not to vote.

Most of us know about the SS, but few of us know about the "Lebensborn" program and who it targeted.
If you can exist & succeed outside the Supremacist framework, you are a target. Marginalized peoples—the most vulnerable in a community—are consistently canaries in this coal mine.

When we do not protect our most vulnerable, when we do not advocate for a system that does so, who decides we're WORTH protecting? Create a system in which you do not have to ask that question; that is the answer, that is the EASIEST answer.

For all the garbage that is threatening from 45's mouth, and we understand how this can be alarming in light of Venezuela, Greenland has always felt like a razzle-dazzle bluff of a distraction because it's surrounded by nations that can respond with "significant umbrage" (polite).
