    And if Trump has another go at the presidency, then it’s only the Democrats to blame, not the voters who defected.

    This is honestly the worst part of this whole thing, because if it happens, they won’t even have a come to Jesus “Wow, maybe I shouldn’t have done that” moment that might influence their actions in the future - instead it will just galvanize them against the party that they are ideologically closest to.

      It would be like if LGBT folk in 2000 said Gore wasn’t LGBT-friendly enough, so they were fine with Bush winning.

      Do they have legitimate complaints? Yes. Does that justify ushering in someone who will be worse for literally everyone? Fuck no.

        I’ve literally seen people make that argument against Kamala. Apparently she’s not LGBTQ friendly enough 🙄

        While also conveniently ignoring that Republicans are the ones blocking any progress.

          Those people are either idiots, or arguing in bad faith. Too many disinformation agents or accelerationists on Lemmy.
