Tomorrow Donald Trump will take the oath of office again. By spurning economic populism and embracing Bush-era Republicans, Democrats helped pave the way for his second inauguration.

          Pretty sure Trump won it.

          Will you be doubling down on blaming the voters next time, assuming there is a next time?

            Read this slowly: I am not blaming “the voters”, just THE FEW who fucked it up by not voting. I’m done here.

              Oh, important distinction alert. OP is only blaming some of the voters.

              You’re “done here” because you’ve got no persuasive argument and you’re giving the Democrats a pass they absolutely do not deserve.

                Look, I’ve been specific that what I’m objecting to is people thinking their refusal to vote was the right and moral thing to do. All you’ve given is sarcasm and meme-level generalizations about “the voters” and “the Democrats”. You’re like a high school sophomore playing lawyer, which makes this conversation pointless. THAT’s why I’m done with you. I’m going to ignore you now, but feel free to continue your preaching.

                  I understand it’s tempting to get pissy and to seek to downplay legitimate criticism when called out on your bullshit.

                  Try and do better next time, yeah?
