What? Is it so hard to believe that the Democrats dropped the ball? Do you not remember how they said nothing as police attacked student protesters during the free Palestine protests? When they said nothing as a group of random Israeli aligned thugs attacked people doing a peaceful sit in? When it took months for them to even acknowledge that Netanyahu wasn't exactly looking out for hostages? This is all without missing the even bigger issue, "the economy stupid," that they are still in denial about. Just because Trump's actively crashing it doesn't mean it was heading in the right direction before.
I'm not justifying anyone sitting out the election, but I am explaining why some people probably did. It doesn't matter how competent they were in office when they lost to a fascist who told everyone his intentions to be a dictator. They weren't even clear enough about it being the last election to prevent collapse of liberal democracy. They didn't fear monger hard enough quite frankly, and they still don't. It's disappointing beyond words.
Theyfucked up normally. This wasn’t them going out of their way to “show they didn’t care”, and there were plenty of Dems who spoke out, they just don’t have the mic and themic owners aren’t going to give them it.
They played it safe, again, and they fucked up, again.
Frankly every single idiot bastard that didn’t vote or voted trump can be written off as a poor excuse for humanity for fucking this up. Yes, I blame the Democrats but not half as much as I blame these self-righteous fuckwits who chose not to vote or who voted trump.
Stupid fucking shitweasels got us here, maybe they should wake the fuck up to how they fucked up instead of pointing at the one national party that exists to support them.
