    So when presented with a choice between an evil and something that wasn’t all that effective at combating this evil, you decided to chose evil. That one effective evil that was so effective at bringing evil.
    And now you are trying to convince yourself that it wasn’t your fault

      You are blaming someone who had absolutely no power to affect the outcome of the election, while absolving the dems, who knowingly decided to do all those policies, knowing they would decrease turnout.

        Voters are tbe only people who has power to affect tbe outcome of election, if democracy is happening anyway. Moreover they have an obligation as citizens and part of communities to find the best possible outcome of an election and put their voice towards that. A political party has zero obligations other than to fulfil whatever internal policy they have, and it’s an entity that voters shape by voting and political activistm in general.
        When voters vote for the worst outcome for them, it’s their doing and their fault, and nobody else is to blame.

              I explained to you why the democrats lose elections. Instead you cover your ears and go “no it’s the voters fault that unpopular policy decreases turnout”. In every future election, when democrats try to be republican-lite, and the base is telling them “this is massively unpopular”, you will continue to try to silence the left and help the democrats maintain the delusion they can win by being republicans.

                The fuck you didn’t. You listed a list of grievances you hold, showed that you know jack shit about how the government works or what was or wasn’t done over years and why, and huffily proclamed, without zero evidence backing you up, that you alone hold the knowledge of what american people want and declared yourself an ambassador of the left.

                  Yes, I am the only one who holds the secret knowledge that… checks notes democratic voters don’t like republican policies.

                  I don’t need to cite anything because this is so painfully obvious.
