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

    I advocated for voting for Harris, and did so when the time came. I also don’t think this blame game gets us anywhere, and I’m already a little sick of talking about it.

    I’m also done defending the Democratic Party as a whole. Individuals, yes, but not the party. I’m realizing through this that I have a certain reflexive need to correct misinformation about Democrats, but I’m clamping down on it.

        There’s a lot misinfo out there. More than any one person could possibly handle. You must pick and choose. What you choose tends to reveal your personal preferences.

          i mean, that’s true, but then again everybody has their area of expertise, and if it’s easy to correct, the barrier to entry is significantly lower.

      Good, good. Let the hate flow through you. Come to the left side where we want to rid ourselves of the capitalist class entirely and stop trying to negotiate with them through their puppet political parties. You are so close, I feel it in the force.
