    If only the Democrats had run a progressive candidate with popular policy proposals.

      Would’ve helped. Still doesn’t excuse the “BOTHSIDES” game on the eve of literal fascism.

        You admit that running an actual progressive instead of a pro-fracking genocide apologist would be better, yet you think that admitting the weakness of our fascist “allies” isn’t excusable?

        Make it make sense.

          Big difference between “Dems ran a weak campaign and are feckless out-of-touch morons” and “Liberals are part of a duopoly conspiracy to move everything rightward and things only get worse, please ignore that we haven’t been moving continually rightward since the induction of the current two-party system”

            I don’t see any contradiction there.

            The dem candidate literally platformed Republicans as part of the campaign, how are we supposed to pretend that they actually think Republicans are a threat to democracy?
