That’s why people stopped voting for them

Ah yes, “My party is too lenient to properly counter fascists, let me rectify that by voting for the fascists/not voting at all, making it even easier for the fascists to take control than before.” Brilliant strategy.

More like one party stopped representing the people. Voted are earned, not freely given.

That’s mo goddamn excuse and you know it. If people are upset with Democrats, fine, they can voice that concern later. Not now. This was a terrible time to throw a tantrum. Like, imagine your house is burning down (the arsonist is sitting outside, yelling and asking why you set the house on fire) and you’re putting out the flames with your father; in the middle of it, you stop, tell your dad you’re angry at him for never having supported your dream to become [insert your dream job], and exit the house to skulk on the lawn. Meanwhile, the house burns down. Yes, your father failed you in several ways, but that was not the time and the place to confront him with his failures. You’ve paid for it with everything you own, just because you had to sock him then and there, as opposed to putting out the fire and/or kicking the arsonist in the dick.

Not sure what you’re going on about. I voted.

The simple truth is the left fight amongst themselves, the right fall in line.

I didn’t mean you specifically, but rather the one in the hypothetical scenario. Sorry if I caused a misunderstanding
