    All you morons who didn’t vote or voted third party are to blame. Why does the left party have to jump hoops for your votes when the other candidate is a legal fascist? You guys are idiots

      This argument here, folks. This is neoliberalism fighting against its inevitable end. If the democrats can’t put forward a coherent plan for the future outside of “the other people are worse, but we have to keep them around as friends.” I voted blue and wish others did as well, but we can’t force them to vote or vote for who we want. It is the job of the political class to earn votes, and sadly, the dems just didn’t pull out the win, and we are all worse for it

          Just speaking the truth, friend. We won’t make it out of this without a drastic change and a plan. Trying to blame a bunch of powerless people won’t do anything and certainly isn’t productive.

      That’s like a business saying the public caused them to fail because the public wouldn’t buy their shit products. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way.

      Yeah! Why should political parties have to earn your vote in a democracy? Democracy is when you are coerced into voting by a party rather than the party earning your vote by doing things you want.

      It’s both. Both groups should act as though the other is as much of an unreasonable jackass as they tend to be
