    Biden made plenty of mistakes but ultimately the people who didn’t vote are the most directly responsible, full stop.

      Each individual voter only had a say in their own vote unless they campaigned as well. Biden was in the position to change how he was seen by all voters. Who has more responsibility here?

      The people who voted for Trump are obviously the most directly responsible, full stop with parking brake.

        And so they deserve fascism.

        Yeah, the person you replied to definitely did not say that.

          Yes, they did.

          This is the same smarmy, condescending attitude we got with Hillary Clinton. The DNC refuses to learn anything, they patronize people with “the stars shine brightest in the night sky,” and turn their nose up at their base for being too stupid to know what’s good for them.

          It’s not enough to be ‘correct’ when the ship is sinking, we have to win.

      The democrats knew genocide decreases voter turnout. They did it anyway. The democrats knew ending covid protections, banning tiktok, restarting student loan repayments, etc all lower voter turnout. They did it anyway.

      You can wish that we lived in a world where these things didn’t lower voter turnout, but that’s not productive.

      Only the democrats had the power to change the outcome of this election.
