    Blaming the voters for the absense of an anti-genocide candidate seems really productive. Maybe if we keep re-litigating the election for the next four years the Democrats will run Hillary again. /s

      Moderates:

      The problem with Republicans is their blind support of trump, they’ll always vote R!

      Also moderates, often in the same breath:

      The problem with Democrats is they want to hold politicians to a higher standard, instead of blindly voting D!

      Blame the voters, for donvict being in office?

      Why yes, I think I will. Who else to blame? It’s not like candidates voted themselves into office.

        Don’t vote? Don’t complain when things go to shit.

        Also, want change? Actually vote in the primaries, donate to a better candidate, volunteer for the better candidate, and fucking vote in the primaries.

        Jesus, everyone thinks that MAGA’s control came overnight, this shitshow took most of the 40+years of being on this earth to happen.

          Their campaign to radically remake America has gone back even further than that. The reactionary mindset hates freedom of others and cannot stand being hemmed in even slightly by any kind of debt to society or being decent to others, etc…

          So the xtian loons, the white supremacists and the people that give themselves bullshit titles like “job creators” got together on this…

        You ought to be blaming the Democrats for pushing another status quo candidate without even running a primary.

        The voters aren’t responsible for the uninspiring candidate they were offered, and the Democrats are too busy projecting their failure on their constituents to take responsibility and make changes to prevent it from happening again.
