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.

    I don’t have a problem with people critiquing Democrats, I have a problem with them arguing that voting for democrats is bad.

      Yeah, Letting the far right get voted in does not push the Democrats to the left, if anything it pulls them right. Fight like hell but protest abstaining does not achieve anything.

      This is my sticking point as well. I’m down for any and all critique of the Democrats, but when the general election comes around the absolute #1 priority has to be preventing and removing conservatives from power. Not a single good policy comes from conservatives. They exist purely to block progressive policies. Let’s get rid of them and see what we can accomplish.

      It’s bad because it is. You’re just trying to fill in the blanks that you tacked on at the end yourself.
