No worries, I completely get your frustrations. Not voting in general is the dumbest thing one can do in that situation, especially when one of the options is a fascistic clown. I get that you’re very passionate about this, and I hope I haven’t come of as (too) harsh in my reply as well.

I never said that abstaining from voting is the right move here, quite the opposite, I’m completely for harm reduction and would vote for the democrat option everytime. Don’t know how you got that from my post. It’s just so weird for me that none of the blame is placed on the democratic party and it’s establishment canidates doing jack-shit and when they lost in 2016 because of sheer incompetency, it’s somehow the fault of “leftists abstaining to vote” (any sources on that claim? Anyone got any stats on that?)

Also, drop the sarcastic tone when you lack reading comprehention this much. Nowhere in my post was abstaining to vote even implied to be the best course of action (it’s not), I was just asking why noone seems to blame the DNC for it’s incompetency.

Non-american here, why is it that the 2016 election was lost because of a “leftists not voting” boogeyman instead of Hillary Clinton being a deeply unsympathetic canidate, pushing away an objectively better canidate (Bernie) because it was “her time”, and doing jack-shit to visit swing states to give speeches? From what I remember, she did the bare minimum because she thought she would have the election in the bag anyway.

Oh, and that whole court thing, wasn’t that because of that piece of shit democrat judge not retiring under obama because she had some main character syndrome or something and instead decided to die under a republican president? Why is she not the one at fault here?

Professor, turn off my cringe inhibitors
