    intentionally misdirecting anger at voters - who can literally only react to the policies and governance of the democrats as they are

    It doesn’t matter if Democrats aren’t picture perfect. Anyone willing to rub brain cells together knows they’re infinitely better at governing than Republicans, including in regards to Palestine, and should vote accordingly. I don’t need the Democrats to cup my balls and talk dirty to me to know the smarter move is to vote for them. I don’t need to be courted every fucking election or my vote goes to a proto-fascist or I don’t vote at all.

    The majority of the fault is squarely on voters, not Democrats. Because they didn’t fucking inform themselves responsibly.

      A little less than half of all eligible voters don’t vote in any given federal election - multiple factors more than the margin of every race; can we blame those people for every atrocity conducted on our behalf, too?

      The outcome of every election since our founding was determined by how many people the candidates can get to turn out for them -that didn’t suddenly change this time. Democrats chose to spend their efforts trying to disabuse their constituents of their moral objections and deny any real domestic reform, and they lost because of it.
