        If I got my way we’d never have been in this situation in the first place. Gore would have been elected in 2000 and the Republicans would have collapsed to the rank of a third party with no realistic electoral prospects.

          And because you you didn’t get your way- you’re going to punish an untold amount of people.

          Pretty selfish if you ask me.

          But you do you. Even if Biden doesn’t win, I’ll know I tried to save the rights and freedoms of the people who will lose them. But I guess entitlement and privilege sometimes allows one to not have to think or worry about these things.

          We’re done here. I e said what needed be said.

            And this is why the Democrats are going to lose, the total inability of the party or its supporters to take responsibility for their mistakes or even to recognize them as such.

            I’m here warning people to make ready for the inevitable and you’re accusing me of “punishing people” as if I have any power over the national committee that made these decisions.

            Pretty selfish if you ask me.

            How many pregnant people or queer folks have you helped evacuate from Red States since the end of Roe v. Wade? Have you done anything other than lambast people online?

            I guess entitlement and privilege sometimes allows one to not have to think or worry about these things.

              Evacuating from red states? What the fuck are you talking about? So apparently if I’m not playing Underground Railroad to the pregnant and LGBTQ, I’m not doing my part? Okay, how many have YOU…. Evacuated.

              Jesus man… that’s one hell of a straw man.

              And it’s only inevitable if people don’t get off their asses and vote. But since you have taken to calling it such, that clearly shows you have no intention to try and change that.

              Wow man…

              Imagine having the balls to blame those that are doing the ONE thing we have remaining to stop America from becoming a dictatorship.

              VOTE.

                I notice you didn’t respond to the second part of my queation, where I asked if you were doing anything to help at all. Seems a bit sus that you can’t immediately tell me what sort of actions you’ve taken to support the people at risk under the new regime.

                It’s only inevitable if people don’t get off their asses and vote.

                Whether people go out and vote depends on how much the candidates inspire them to do so. Trying to blame the voters for the outcome of an election is counterproductive at best.

                Imagine having the balls to blame those that are doing the ONE thing we have remaining to stop America from becoming a dictatorship.

                You built a time machine and went back to complete the post-civil-war reconstruction?

                  Whatever makes you feel like you’re not part of the problem man. I’m not going to argue this with you.

                  Either vote, or you’re part of the problem. That’s where we are now. We’d all like it to be different. But it isn’t. Whoever’s fault it is- is IRRELEVANT.

                  Vote- because LIVES FUCKING DEPEND ON IT.

                    If all you’re doing is voting and whining about people who don’t vote hard enough then you’re part of the problem.

                    The problem is apathy, and depressed voting turnout is a symptom of apathy. If you want more people to care, then stop moaning on the internet and start volunteering.

                  Oh, and for the record, it’s not “sus” to not tell others what one does to help. I don’t use charity to win arguments. And asking stupid shit like this, thinking you’re going to catch someone is some gotcha! scenario speaks volumes of your maturity.
