It's not a high horse, because I voted for Kamala Harris. But as someone who actually goes here, I knew this was going to be the exact outcome, because this high minded "vote for Trump to save democracy" is what got us in this mess in the first place. It happened in exactly like this 2016, and the Dem's didn't learn.

Sure, we can blame the electorate, I'm all for it. But saying that it's SOLELY the electorate's fault when the DNC has been trotting out milquetoast candidates one after the other is so disingenuous. Americans keep saying they don't want two right wing candidates, but no one is listening.

I'm talking about dem non-voters.

How many DNC members protested when Biden decided to run for the second time? Surely not millions or so.

If they didn't then they should've voted for Harris when Biden stepped down cause that was the need of the hour. Instead they stayed home and risked a second Trump presidency.

And if these really were politically aware voters who wanted a progressive candidate, did they not understand the gravity of the situation? Of possibility of second Trump administration and all the bullshit that entails?

Nah. I don't buy it.
