    If you didn’t vote, or voted third party, because the Democrat candidate wasn’t “Left enough” for you, then like it or not you got exactly what you voted for.

    You have to vote like we have the system we have, not like we have the system you want.

      I hate the blame for third party voters, they still showed up and voted there are more things on the ballot than president and they almost certainly voted the progressive option for them which was good.

      If literally every person who voted for a third party candidate, left or right, if literally all off them voted for Kamala Harris she still would have lost…

      Stein got 0.6 million votes. Over a hundred million stayed at home. I sincerely doubt that each of those hundred million is a dyed-in-the-wool anti-electoralist, so why focus on the “Not left enough” people? They had no effect on the election one way or another, just like they kept telling you. Your problem is that the majority of people in this country are completely alienated from politics. If you continue to focus on the left to the exclusion of the Democrats’ very real shortcomings, if you continue to ignore DNC’s failure to offer a winning platform to everyday people, then you are damning us all to an eternity of the current moment.

      I just don’t get how these cucks don’t get that.

      It’s simple. If you don’t vote against the fascist dictator, you get a fascist dictator.

      Judging by the responses by many of them on this platform, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say, that’s exactly what they wanted.

      “I’m miserable and I want everyone else to be miserable too.”

      Thanks for cucking America, you Russian tools. Don’t even bother making excuses. If you’re one of the 20 million Americans that abstained from voting this election cycle, trust me, I will eternally blame you for the horrors that you have unleashed upon the world.
