    Blaming the voters is most of the reason you’re in the position you’re in, you do understand that, right?

      Why blame politicians running bad campaigns when you can blame the voters for not being invested in a bad campaign?

        ¿Por Qué No Los Dos?

        I am not going to defend the democrats one bit. I voted for them in order to oppose this shit storm we find ourselves in.

        However, anybody who voted for Trump was alive for his first term, and he got MORE votes this time around. Fuck the voters.

        Yep. And this way you don’t need to make any changes, or do even the smallest amount of introspection. Just keep fucking up the same way, over and over again.

      It’s also an easy/lazy excuse to absolve themselves from responsibility.

      Like, OK, if voting is the only mechanism, did you spend time on the phones or on the streets convincing people how to vote? Or talking to representatives about policy? Somehow I doubt it.
