    Buddy, if you knew the stakes and still chose not to vote because of some moral quandary or, and this is my favorite excuse that I’ve heard so many times here on Lemmy, because the Dems need to “learn a lesson,” you hold just as much blame as anyone. Waiting out Trump’s ancient ass in a world that isn’t on fire before trying to force change was just too good for you, and now we’re all gonna fucking burn for your idealism and need for immediate gratification.


  • In both instances, they relegated Sanders to the background. Don’t get me wrong, his ideals are more extreme for sure. Better without a doubt, but extreme enough to potentially split the vote with uninformed voters. The other candidate was generally a safer choice, and so they were the candidate everyone heard about, while Sanders was largely kept out of the public eye.

    That said, a leftist with a braincell would understand that even the worst Dem is better than Trump, and that the destruction Trump could cause far outweighs the need for the Dems to learn a lesson. Keep things at least fucking livable until Trump’s ancient, clogged up heart gives in, and then make a fucking point, don’t burn the whole world down.

    Simple, because those are the people it should matter to. Those are the people with the most to lose. Those are the people who are more likely to have LGBTQ+ friends and family. The moderates don’t give a shit and should never have been catered to in the first place, but these people tossed aside the people and things they claim to love in order to make a stand. That’s why I expect more from them, because they’re in a position to be more hurt by it.
