    Well you sure showed those democrats by not voting huh? Like shooting yourself but calling it a win because you got blood on the other guy.

    The American left has become so toxic, and splintered into micro groups with special labels who all hate each other and reject each other’s support while blaming each other and calling anyone even slightly right or even left of you an enemy. Meanwhile the right was united while trump and Netanyahu played you all so blatantly and obviously and you all bought it.

    Well I’m sure Gazans thank you American leftists for staying home and letting trump win. I’m sure your blaming democrats will make them feel better

      Sadly you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If you’re voting you’re supporting the status quo of the Dems really only listening to corporate backers, if you’re not voting you’re letting the opposition (Trump) have a better chance at office (which he did get). They’re both terrible options, and I’m not sure blaming individuals who are tired of having to fight for the lesser evil instead of a better tomorrow is fair

        Are you suggesting that material conditions can be contradictory, moving people to make different, equally rational, decisions for conflicting reasons, rather than just being two camps that define all moral obligations as the opposite of the other?

        Someone should look into this

      I did vote, but I was also trying to tell people that the whole strategy of browbeating wasn’t going to work. But that’s all the dems have to offer which is why they lost.
