You’re going a lot off hypotheticals. You’re trying to say the election was lost because some closeted republicans voted in their own interests?

How about the obvious explanations which we saw every day? People claiming to be on the left who voted third party or sat at home. And people who voted in 2020 but couldn’t be bothered to vote at all. Those were BAD voter decisions and we know for sure they happened. Grasping at straws to explain the electoral outcome when those are right there in our face… Is concerning to me.

One last point… are we now choosing to rewrite history that Obama was the only leftist in the history of the Democratic party?

Yes, and our culture has changed a LOT since all of that. There is plenty of blame to go around, but I can’t not blame people who can literally look up any information in the world in seconds from a device in their pocket, but instead they simply choose to believe whatever horseshit they already believe. No skepticism whatsoever.

Then other voters who don’t give enough of a shit to even go vote have the gall to want to be seen as superior for that – because they’d rather the world burn if they can’t get their way. Fuck this timeline. Your previous comment suggests you won’t have to suffer this like I will-- I’m American

I’m not sure where you got that I need that condescending lecture. I don’t, and it’s beside the point entirely.

My point was that a protest vote or staying home is somehow forgivable to people like you who rage about Democrats when in reality voters chose this fucking horror show. You’d love for me to believe it’s all the fault of Democrats for being super conservative or whatever, but the evidence in front of us doesn’t support that. It’s just weird speculation in which you choose to blame the party and ignore voters’ bad actions.

It’s quite easy to see the “if I can’t have it my way, trump can fuck everything up” attitude in voters who say they’re leftists, but instead you only see it in Democrats.

By your same logic, these super smart “leftists” would rather Donald Trump usher in fascism than the rest of us not move further left.
