How about blaming those who put a candidate forth people did not want to vote for
I would have voted for shit on a wall before I would have allowed the chance of allowing Trump get in considering his rhetoric was nazi lite.
How about you all reflect on the fact that democracy only survives if you participate to protect it.
The problem is that some people are not you, and they do have standards.
This is why politicians need to appeal to voters instead of backing Trump as an opponent and expect free votes.
So your argument is that the Democrats was not perfect and in the same arena was Trump throwing out fascist rhetoric and your end conclusion is to not vote because the Democrats was not perfect? I just want to make sure I understand yours as well as the non-voters logic. Because for those actually paying attention this was a pretty easy choice.
Edit: Help me understand why the blame gets passed onto the Democratic party entirely when the power to have stopped this was with the voters that decided to not vote.
Actively supporting a genocide is a tad far from "not being perfect".
It does not matter how you try to spin it. Democrats have lost to the easiest opponent they could wish for. We can look back and conclude that you are wrong and I am right.
So lets play this out, both parties was the same with Gaza yes?
Edit: If you are afraid to see how failed your logic is then by all means don’t answer.
No Trump invited a Palestinian on stage and said he would get a ceasefire done. He correctly recognized the popularity of the issue and made false promises.
Kamala Harris on the other hand chose to showcase her support for Fascism by not allowing a Palestinian on stage at the DNC.
What year did that take place?
Edit: One would assume your claim about Trump inviting a Palestinian on stage is easily verifiable yet I cannot find any source. The only source I can find of Trump even talking with a Palestinian is when he invited Abbas to the Whitehouse in 2017, where Trump stated he could go either way with a two state or one state solution but nothing was guaranteed. So please continue and share what evidence you have or claim to have.
Edit edit: For anyone else looking in on this, the above is sole reason to verify all information or you might look like a fool or foreign actor sowing misinformation like the commenter above.
