A lot more people than the DNC are blaming people for not voting Democrat & sticking us with this shithole administration. It was a huge no-brainer.
The democrats are objectively better for the majority of the population. Science has a liberal bias and all that.
What many of the dem leaders and commentors are missing is that's not enough. Blaming and shaming people online, even if you're right which as I covered you objectively are, isn't going to win the election. A lot of people voted for Trump because they feel left out and unheard. Maybe they should be, after all some of them hold dangerous ideas like climate change denial or think giving underrepresented people's a chance is unfair.
But that's just not enough. Being right isn't enough. Pointing out their idiocy only serves to entrench them and scare away moderates. You might say, not voting means they're dumb, right or wrong that comment doesn't help your cause. Being objectively correct didn't win the last election. Until the democrats acknowledge that optics are more import than correctness they're going to fight an uphill battle. A very steep one.
