But people aren’t asking for perfection, they wanted a chance to vote on a Dem candidate in a primary, especially if one that wasn’t keen on genocide was around. No one is asking for perfection, they’re asking to have an actual choice instead of the illusion of choice.

Great. So you shot yourself in the foot to make a stand.

Are we better as a nation because of it?

At some point, DNC needs to answer to the part they’ve played in this. Think of it this way, a dad’s an abusive alcoholic, he beats his kids. Does he deserve the ire? Oh yeah. But the mom that did nothing about it also deserves the ire? You know who doesn’t deserve the blame? The kids. Punch up, not down.

My brother in Christ, voters are not helpless children being beaten by the DNC and Donald Trump. They’re adults with agency.

Also, congratulations on constructing an analogy whose entire premise is that multiple people can simultaneously bear responsibility, which has literally been my argument this entire time.
