    This is what you voted for protest non voters. Congratulations.

      Look, I’m not a protest nonvoter but this line does a lot more harm than good. You get to feel smug but all you’re doing is alienating the people who voted against this despite having to vote against their conscience to do so.

      I feel ideologically aligned with people who couldn’t stomach voting for either party, because despite all the stupid mockery both sides are bad. The Republicans are actively evil and the Democrats are knowingly complicit. It’s not equally bad, but it’s all bad. Every smug comment like yours chips away at my desire to hold my nose and vote for centrist neoliberals against my own interests.

      How about instead, for a change, we blame the people who voted in loser candidates like Hillary and Biden? 1/3 is a failing grade, and we’re all paying for it because of Hillary’s pied piper. Yet people like you continue to blame the people who didn’t like a bad candidate.

        Nope.

          Gotcha, so complete dismissal. You know that just proves my point, right? Stop blaming a hypothetical nonvoter for the sins of the Democratic party. If you need to blame voters, blame the ones who backed the wrong horse.

        Well good news for you, you probably won’t get to vote again! I bet that gives you the fuzzies

          And what exactly makes you think that? I’m royally pissed because I’ve done everything to stop this and yet centrists can’t stop blaming everyone but themselves for the problems they caused. Take some goddamn responsibility.

        Got another 3 years and 10.5 months more of this.

        Could actually say even more than that, it will take a long time to fix this.
