> A prosecutor would have to prove that you have knowingly and wilfully committed the crime in order to be convicted

Why can't I just say "I didn't know I was speeding, prove I did it wilfully"

Isn't that assumed? Obviously Apple can't check every iPhone owner to see if they have been hacked now or in the past

>Some portion of them likely did not vote with this specific policy in mind.

Their fault. The Republican party has been quite open about being a against environmentalism and related policies.

1.They weren't equally bad.

2. Not voting still results in one being elected. This isn't the same as being offered two foods you don't like and declining to eat either.

3. The judgment on the quality of the candidates is likely mostly based on misinformation and manipulation by others.

The voters are the source of the problem and we need to focus on them instead of Trump because once he is gone they'll just elect another piece of shit.

A large portion of the population doesn't vote but if they understand the real danger of Trump supporters maybe that will motivate them

>The Democratic party often sounds like a bunch of elitists

Can you give an example of a Democrat politician making elitist statements?

How do you know this feeling isn't the result of propaganda by the Republican party and their news media supporters to paint the Democrats as elite?

Not voting is a choice and the same as voting for the winner

"Both sides"

Both candidates weren't equally bad. That is always the situation and you must choose the least worse or best candidate.

Ok? And?

The majority voted to move in one direction then the majority wanted to reverse it.

The reason we ended with RFK is because of the massive number of lies Trump and his allies told compared to the Democrats, the majority of people are not sufficiently intelligent to overcome this, and the economy.

Is the number of people high enough to make them right?

For example if one doctor says I have cancer but 100 electricians say I don't I'm cancer free

You haven't shown the value. There are multiple countries that have a very low defense spending and since WW2 haven't been invaded.
