I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

    no, I’m not.

    I’m not angry at the voters. I’ve watched the whole primary looking at the democratic strategy thinking. 'That’s not gonna work", “thats not gonna resonate with voters”, “where the hell is Biden?”, “Is Biden still cognizant?”

    At some point, a campaign or candidate can be so bad, that I can’t blame anyone but them for losing. Joe Exotic, the tiger king, ran for an elected position and lost. I blame him. His campaign was trash. He did better than expected purely from his fame, but I do not credit the voters for keeping him out of office. He did a lot of damage to himself all on his own.

      If you care whether she won, then yes blame her for losing. That’s not what I care about. I care that Trump won. Since there was a much better option available to voters, I blame the voters for that.

      Anyone who thinks Harris was a worse option than Trump is not worth having a conversation with.
