  • Look, I’m not a protest nonvoter but this line does a lot more harm than good. You get to feel smug but all you’re doing is alienating the people who voted against this despite having to vote against their conscience to do so.

    I feel ideologically aligned with people who couldn’t stomach voting for either party, because despite all the stupid mockery both sides are bad. The Republicans are actively evil and the Democrats are knowingly complicit. It’s not equally bad, but it’s all bad. Every smug comment like yours chips away at my desire to hold my nose and vote for centrist neoliberals against my own interests.

    How about instead, for a change, we blame the people who voted in loser candidates like Hillary and Biden? 1/3 is a failing grade, and we’re all paying for it because of Hillary’s pied piper. Yet people like you continue to blame the people who didn’t like a bad candidate.
