I literally do blame the Democrats for Trump, and if you don’t, you weren’t paying attention.

Plenty of us were critiquing Clinton’s campaign on those merits and were consistently talked down to in shocker the same way we’re being talked down to now. Shocker, she lost. I remember saying a few weeks before the election “We’re about to get Brexited.” I put my vote down for Clinton, because Trump is fucking insane, and that was clear before he was President. It was clear in the fucking 1980’s.

Being able to critique our leaders is supposed to be what is the difference between us and conservative voters. They’re the cult who unquestioningly believes all the bullshit that comes out of Trump’s mouth and diapers. I find it weird that people think we should be more like them in regards to our leaders like that would be a good thing.

    This whole “we have to beat Trump at the ballot box” shit also shows how truly toothless the Democrats are. This guy started a fucking insurrection and they’re letting him run for President. They waited two years until he started selling nuclear secrets to start any criminal proceedings against him. I’ve said plenty of times our reluctance to punish Bush for war crimes is a direct line to Trump. They weren’t willing to stand up for war crimes, and they won’t stand up for this.

    They literally are signaling loud and clear that if Trump wins again, even illegitimately, they will not be the defenders of democracy and they will step aside and let Trump be a dictator.

    Hell, they’ll probably pull a Ray Nagin and run off to Europe to cry on CNN Europe about how sad they are for all of us still stuck here under Trump’s authoritarian thumb.

      Waiting 2 years was political. Nothing more. They’re to blame again if Trump gets in. I’m so tired of their stupid milquetoast candidates.
