Blaming voters will never be a viable political strategy.

If the democrats wanted to stay in power, they knew they would need to pass policy that tangibly improved people's lives. They then promised they would and then failed to help people.

When people do badly financially, they vote out the incumbent.

Y'all are never making it out of the shit you're in if this is how you're thinking. Neither the republicans nor the democrats represent the interests of the working class. You're just pissed now that the fascism your country has been spreading across the world for decades both under the democrats and under the republicans is coming home to hatch now.

As a resident of a state where Democrats are going to win, regardless of what I do, a state whose tiny insignificant number of electoral votes don't matter anyway, fuck you.

People who focus on just one sole issue and ignore the full consequences and the reality of the say they do have deserve about as much democracy as MAGA. But don't worry, you no longer will have any say at all.

Don't forget the protest and ignorant voters! Literally happened on election Day: "I don't like how Biden/Harris is and will be handling Palestine so I'm gonna vote Trump" and "What happened to Biden? I don't know who Harris is, but I saw Trump on TV so I guess I'll vote for him."

While you may think that 3rd party voters were the reason Trump was elected that's simply wrong. Criticizing those who chose to vote third party instead of our current system without rank choice is not helpful and not beneficial to the public.

3rd parties can't win without electoral reform.

Electoral reform will never happen without a 3rd party to force it through.

Chicken or the egg, and the Fascists still win. Congrats!

NPR: Trump still would have won if everyone had turned out to vote. This could only have happened if either a. a(n electoral) plurality in this country prefers evil, or b. the Democrats failed to either have or articulate a platform sufficiently different for voters to see the difference. If the former, no amount of voting one's conscience would have an effect either way; if the latter, maybe folks who want change should either abandon or replace the Democratic party.

If the Dems voted for the 3rd party candidate instead we wouldn’t be in this place. Thanks a lot, Obama.
