Leopards Ate My Face

Until the Democratic Party stops excluding the Bernies of the world, elections like these are what we're going to get. No one believes Democrats will actually do what they say they're going to do, not even their own voters.

Eh. They're the same to me.

Both groups are irreedemable losers, just in different ways.

People who support Nazis are basically the same as people that just kind of let Nazis do their thing without lifting a finger.

By a slight margin.

Agreed but I think the ones who stayed home and actively encouraged others to do the same are worse than Trump voters who keep it to themselves. That Trump voters scored 1 vote and the armchair activist made at least one person not vote

Killing two people is worse than killing one person. Both are still morally questionable actions.

It's all a moot point when you consider the anti-democratic functions of our EC and winner-take-all district system.

Yelling at the One Trump Voter or the One Jill Stein Voter or the One Hilary Clinton/Joe Biden/Bernie Sanders Primary Voter or what-the-fuck-ever is meaningless in the context of machine politics that ultimately decide who runs for office and who wins. The tiny cartel of partisan State Secretaries purging millions of voter registrations with a bias towards demographic groups that favor opposition parties will have a far more significant impact than your single ballot choice. The billions spent on advertising and marketing to shape public perception and limit the scope of national discourse, the tens of billions spent to orchestrate national media and pander to certain elite, overly represented economic interests, and the decades of Cold War propaganda we've been drenched in since Paul Weyrich, Pat Buchanan, and James Dobson gaslite generations of evangelical voters into believing defunding Medicaid would save unborn children, are far more responsible for the current state of electoral politics than your 11th hour hot take on who should be President.

Americans want desperately to believe that their liberal democracy isn't like the kletocracies and kakocracies of the Big Bad Foreign Countries. But this exceptionalist (deeply white nationalist) mindset is just one more layer of bullshit we've all been forced to swallow.

The people who voted for Trump have been hoodwinked into voting against their best interests thanks to an entire consent manufacturing industry. And the people who voted for Biden/Harris, thinking they could win over these scammed voters by softly pandering to the same set of reactionary, xenophobic campaign pledges and bullshit paranoid theories and get-rich-quick scams are also getting hoodwinked.

You're trapped in a systematic failure of electoral populism. "Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy!" isn't a way out. Its just a dogmatic belief that the Other Corporate Candidate was the panacea to the deep corruption that ails us.

No, you see, the answer was voting harder. Centrists have the answer: extremely minor policy interventions without any structural changes whatsoever. The real enemy are the leftists, because The End of History only faltered because people don't listen to centrists.

Edit: guys this is sarcasm....

Cool. And that makes a difference how exactly? I'm sure dividing Americans into "terrible" and "slightly less terrible" categories is definitely going to solve all their problems.
