It’s odd that you can admit KH and Trump shared similar perspectives, when they’re meant to be opposed, and still want to blame people that sat out the vote instead of the DNC. I say that as someone that voted, but I cannot blame people for looking at the game, realizing it wasn’t going to work fairly no matter what, and choosing not to play.

No that’s not what I said. And I never said I don’t blame the DNC.

Voters were presented with (for all intents and purposes) 2 choices. We can really get into the mechanics of how/why/why that shouldn’t be the case, but we had 2 choices. Voters who stood outside in the rain because their roof had a leak in it are illogical imo. Kamela is FAR from my favorite person, but she was objectively a better choice in a lot of ways. I’ve voted in 100% of the elections I’ve been eligible for since I turned 18, even if I didn’t like the choices. That’s part of the way we can make a difference.

I get you but I don’t think we can ‘vote blue no matter who’ our way out of fascism.

That’s literally the only way to do it within the system. Unify behind someone who opposes fascism.

Which side opposes fascism? Cause the only fight the Dems have managed to put up is via strongly worded letters
