“It wasn’t because Biden voters shifted to Trump—but because so many of them stayed home.”

We must not repeat this same mistake again. Remember to always vote in every election and consider volunteering to knock on doors. It can make a difference. There are elections that are decided with just a small number of votes.

      I don’t think that puts enough blame on the assholes with money who are taking advantage of the system and intentionally tipping the scales

        And one way they tip the scales is by pusing the message that, if the Democratic Partty candidate is less than perfect, don’t vote. And meanwhile, corrupt, bloodthirsty criminals on the R side get a free pass. And the purists are too stupid to see that.

        And I say this in full awareness of the DNC’s role in gutting the effectiveness of the Democratic Party as an agent of change.

        Vote the lesser evil if that’s all there is. But also organize and drive corporate shills out of the party leadership.

          if the Democratic Partty candidate is less than perfect, don’t vote.

          Uhh… no. This couldn’t be farther from the truth and you know it.

          We don’t need ‘perfection’ we just need ‘good.’

          I’m sorry you’re not smart enough to realize this, but the lesser evil isn’t good.

          I’m glad trump won because otherwise people like you wouldn’t be upset. If you don’t learn from this election, then you’ll get the same results in the next one.

      I gotta imagine a fair amount of opposition to stuff like early voting or vote by mail is rooted in the idea that the easier we make it the more likely folks will vote for the lesser evil.
