    Democrats didn’t point a gun to your head and tell you to stay home. The Democrat nominee wasn’t God-tier-perfect, so you pulled a temper tantrum. If you opted to sit the election out, that was a decision you made. You made the active choice to help return the man you’re supposed to be dead set against back to office. Don’t go around blaming “Democrats” or anybody else for the choices you made.

    These were your choices. Own them.

    Maybe next time you’ll learn that you don’t stop yourself from shooting yourself in the foot by aiming the gun at your own head instead.

      Imagine being so brainwashed that refusing to condone genocide and acknowledging liberals as being the left wing of fascism is viewed as god tier perfect. The mental gymnastics coming out of BlueMAGA is giving MAGA a run for their money

        So the solution to a politician who is “condoning genocide” is to instead elect a person who was actively campaigning on genociding harder, seizing the land, and turning Gaza into beachfront property for the rich?

          In typical fashion Democrats laid the groundwork for Trump to seize land and turn Gaza into beach front property. If Democrats had a spine and demanded their party primary a senile pedo that’s funding and weaponizing a genocide there’s a good chance trump wouldn’t have won.

            So again, your solution was to … elect a different senile pedo that was campaigning on funding and weaponizing a genocide?

                As the song from Rush goes, if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.

                You chose to sit this out, knowing it was a de-facto vote for Trump. Take responsibility for your own choices instead of blaming others.

                  I made a choice that I still stand behind, and it doesn’t include support for those that caused the problems we have. Liberals refusing to primary a candidate that had no chance of winning, then supporting a woman that was barely to the left of trump, that polling NEVER showed she had a chance, is what got trump elected.

                  Don’t try and lecture others about responsibility when liberals failed to hold their own to the same standard.

          The solution is not to platform fascists. Nobody wins in a fash vs fash election.

          This is kinda basic to any reasonable person but something that the dems choose not to understand (because they support fascism).

      You still think dems can win running a pro genocide campaign from (what they call) the left? That strategy is a special kind of stupid. Dems will not only continue to lose but continue to permanently lose voters from their base if they keep trying that. But I say go for it-- its time to get rid of the existing democratic party and form something new anyway. So good luck to you.
