I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

No fucking shit, I'm tired of it, too. But grown ups deal with the choices in front of them instead of throwing a tantrum and trying to take their toys and go home. If the thing you really care about is Gaza and Palestinians, you have to deal with the immediate issue, which is that four years of active encouragement from Trump is going to do a fuckload of damage that can't just be undone, even if your protest does encourage some change from Democrats. Now, Democrats don't seem to have learned a fucking thing, and Trump is trying to make american soldiers active participants. I understand why you're upset and why you want change, but the tactics you're using are actively making things worse. And then, when your protest vote ushers in "the doom of the USA", who do you blame? The people you refused to vote for because somehow, the greater evil was preferable to the lesser evil.

I am not using any tactic. Democrats are. AND YOU NEED TO STOP PRETENDING LEFTISTS VOTED FOR Trump!

Democrats gave a no win scenario to the leftists in order to try to catch some republicans. They thought leftists would vote for them only to save the country from fascism.

But what did the Democrats do to save the country from fascism? Absolutely nothing. In fact, Democrats went into supporting fascism!

There is no lesser evil, only two brand of evil that lead to exactly the same thing. That's not accelerationism, the only accelerationists are the Democrats here.

Democrats had the power. Democrats were in charge. And they failed miserably. Yet you liberals are still blaming the left because you're fucking children who can't take responsibility for you failures.

BTW I'm not a US citizen. But don't worry, liberals of the western world are absolutely all the same, exactly like you. Ruining the world, bringing fascism into it, and blaming the left for all their failures while they cooperate with the fascist.
