  • Congratulations, you are why Trump was elected. It’s your fucking obligation as a citizen to be informed and engaged in our process. Is the two party system bullshit? Yes. But the way it’s set up if you abstain or vote third party that’s effectively a vote for a republican, and you are very nearly as responsible as them. You want a more progressive dnc? Register and fucking primary incumbent establishment dems with progressives. Drag the party left or own the fucking responsibility of being a part of the problem.



  • I blame my lazy and stupid countrymen failing an open book test. You do not need to be coerced to vote against fascism; that’s a lazy stupid take that absolves the citizens of their duty and obligation to be informed and engaged in the civic process, including voting and understanding how our system actually works in practice as well as theory.

    If you didn’t vote or voted third party you are very nearly as responsible as the trump voters. It is not the Democratic party’s responsibility to motivate you to save yourself from an existential threat. Blaming them knowing it’s coming makes you stupid and complicit.











  • But Kamala was a good choice. Not necessarily for progressives, but for actually fighting back against the republicans. The blame for Trump’s election goes to trump voters for being stupid and malicious enough to fall for it, and then to spoilers and non voters for not having the basic understanding of how our federal system functions. This is ignoring the literal nazi propaganda the republican owned media and party have been passing for forty years. The blame belongs with trump voters and non-voters. Maybe a primary would have energized the non-voters, but it sure fucking didn’t in 16, so why would they try to spoil their own best shot? Most of the people that bitch about Dems fucking up don’t vote in Dem primaries in the first place so they’re the ones at fault. I guess it’s all academic at this point since there’s no going back. But we’re getting what we deserve because there’s maybe only twenty percent of Americans like us that actually care and are horrified at what’s happening. The majority of Americans either want this or are totally ok with this or everyone wouldn’t be pretending future elections will matter.
