    They ran what they ran.

    OK? and people voted how they voted. If you’re not going to tie campaigns to outcomes then you arent talking about reality, just your own feelings.

      My point is, even if the Dems ran a crappy election, they were a much better choice than Trump. And anyone who doesn’t see that is a fool. I don’t see why Americans need to be coddled to get up off their asses and vote for the better choice. Just don’t be idiots, already. Or else you are responsible for not stopping trump.

        right, you dont care what the dems stand for as long as they are .001% better than genocidal fascism. And you’re not willing to lift a finger to demand better of the dems who are the only party we have a snowballs chance in hell of fixing. You’ll take whatever you’re given, like a dog eating scraps off the floor.

        On that, we agree.

          Hardly. You should work in the primaries, letter writing, grass roots etc. do that now. But when it comes to the election, if you don’t vote effectively against maga, you are supporting them, and the result is your fault.
          It’s really quite simple. I’m not sure how it’s not obvious to everyone.
          I guess if you really think trump is only .001% worse, then you are blinded by irrationalities?

            letter writing, grass roots etc

            ah yes. “sternly worded” letters are whats needed, obviously. Who could possibly argue with such a powerful vision. You win this one CannonFodder.

              Yes. Letter writing. That’s how politics works (when functional). It conveys that the electorate cares enough about a policy to write the letter. Politicians actually do pay attention this to some degree.
