    I want you to look at something. This is me, okay?

    I blame American lefty non-voters, yes.

    I blame non-voters

    Now listen to yourself:

    You, instead, have doubled down on endorsing the Democratic Party’s practices by blaming people like me who had that same rock and a hard place vote and went a different direction.

    You voted; I’m not blaming you. Therefore I can not double-down on blaming you. Do you understand that? If so, you understand that you are wrong. If not, we’ve both wasted our time.

    You want to talk about reforming the DNC, making them worthy of everyone’s votes? Hell yeah. Me too. I got a whole bag of bitch to let out on the corporate dems.

    But in exactly one year, whatever we get done is what we get done and it’s time to vote again. If you think we should not hinder the republicans by voting Democrat then say so. If you have another viable option then say so. Otherwise, voting Democrat is THE answer in the likely scenario of the midterm elections and if I support it GOOD. Fuckin’ YAY ME.

    Fuckwits who want to do nothing but shit on the Dems and (wake up this is the important part) NOT VOTE are assholes and they need to get their shit together and help get us out of this turd reich.

      You’ve completely missed the point. I’ll reiterate the end: your rhetoric is causing people like me (not who behaved exactly like me, but who share an ideology that led to 3 increasingly difficult votes to execute) not to vote. You are working against your supposed goal and acting like a superior pompous ass shitting on the people that you help to make apathetic rather than put pressure on the corrupt Democratic Party.

      Stop blaming nonvoters and put pressure on the Democratic Party to actually do something to inspire people. That’s their job to be good enough to get votes. Blame the actual problem, not the symptom. You only make the symptom worse by focusing on it and actively letting the problem fester.

        Apology accepted.

        And voting is going to happen, so. If saying “people should vote” prevents people from voting, um. Yeah that’s a thinker.

        We disagree as to what caused this second trump insanity spiral. Okay. In exactly one year, will we agree on how to start climbing out of it?

          You’re so deep in denial that you’re just making up my replies now? K. Have fun with the fascism that you’re causing.

            I’m saying you haven’t got the ability to admit you were wrong, even when it was laid out simply for you. So, in all likelihood I’m just talking to myself and you’re insulting me for your own amusement.

            Good luck figuring out literally anything that might possibly help.
