Yes, keep blaming the voters and not the democratic party and candidate who repeatedly refused to give them a reason to vote for them. Blaming the voters will definitely win us the next election.

Fuck that. No more being conciliatory, non-voters need to be ashamed of themselves. Shame has its place. Every non-voter knew about Project 2025, and then made the clear-eyed, full-chested decision to be complicit with every single consequence of a Trump victory. They need to be humbled, to feel deep shame, to be wracked with literally physically painful guilt, and to change their ways. If you're a non-voter you can work your fucking ass off for absolution, throw 110% into volunteering and activism to undo some of the mischief and horror Trump is working on vulnerable people, or you can go straight to Hell. No mercy for collaborators or quislings.

If stopping fascism isn't enough of a reason for you to vote Dems, that's a you problem and not a them problem.

If stopping fascism wasn't enough of a reason for Biden and Kamala to stop supporting a genocide...

Maybe they weren't the right candidates?

I don't get why so many people think voters always have to adapt their values to an existing politician, rather than getting a politician who agrees with voters....

Like, how fucking evil would someone have to be to risk trump taking over America rather than not supporting a genocide?

Take Biden and Kamala's name off it, and just how the fuck can someone say that hypothetical person would be a good president?

How quaint, you think there's going to be a next free and fair election at this point.

What do you mean "next"?

America has never had free and fair elections.

As evidenced by the cases of Bush v. Gore, Wilding et. al. v. DNC Services d/b/a DNC and Deborah “Debbie” Wasserman Schultz, and the lack of a viable anti-genocide candidate during last year's election.
