I blame the 70ish million who decided the whole voting scene just wasn't for them.
(And the misogyny. Holy shit the misogyny)
People like you huffing their own ass instead of learning about how things work is what happened. All the people voting R have always been lost causes, but it's the apathetic non voters and the delusional third party voters who caused this.

Ah yes, the Chimpambidextrous Fling.
Electoral College: your vote's power = (People / Arbitrarily Defined Land Area) because fuck you, that's why.
Genocide is absolutely on the ballot. That lady up there said she'll do everything in her power to stop the war. You're advocating for throwing your hands in the air and leaving it to chance. That's horrifying.
As much as I love that insult ("delusional wishcasting child" is excellent), that's not me. I'm quite grounded in reality. That reality is as follows:
Even if you became president tomorrow, stabbed a bunch of senators to death, and forced the US to withdraw all military aid from Israel, blood would continue to flow like a river. The U.S. has influence right now. Throwing that influence away would leave Israel seeking other allies, like Russia, who would have no qualms about absolutely ratfucking every living person in the Gaza strip for money and influence.
The reality is that the entire situation is super fucked, has been for a very long time, and won't magically fix itself by a washing of hands. The least bloody way forward is diplomacy. The fastest path to peace is killing everyone on one side. Israel has no reason (in their insane leadership's mind) to pursue diplomacy, and the only reason they even pretend to is to make the U.S. happy.
Sure, but a change in behavior can make the latter half of those years a lot more enjoyable. I used to work with nurses and the stories they'd tell of 30/40 somethings living like invalids visiting dialysis clinics three to five times a week is heartbreaking.
even just a heap of "Italian seasoning" thrown in there makes a passable sauce. A can of crushed tomatoes and a can of tomato paste and a handful of Italian seasoning (with salt to taste) and you've got a decent college-kid budget sauce.
So your floor here is "throw gas on the fire". Got it. You admit at best he'll be the same, and you're advocating for it. Your stance doesn't seem sane for someone who wants less pain and suffering.
What's the actual answer? The Dems didn't lie their assess off to entice a bigger base by promising the impossible? They didn't decide to burn a hundred bridges on the international stage for the sake of building one right to your door? What's the "real" answer? If you want to vote for your ideal politician, go run for office.
