    Well thats incredibly reductive and disingenuous. I never said the people weren’t to blame, but theres a whole lot of really annoying people running around acting like the whole election is the fault of uncommited/palestine protest voters, and the democrats are blameless and ran a perfect campaign. Out of those two groups, there’s only one whose actions actually could have altered the outcome of the election when you take it down to the numbers, and thats the democratic party. Setting aside the fact rhat they implicitly have blame because its their only job to convince people to vote for them, they still wouldn’t have won even if every single protest voter had voted democrat. But even if that werent the case, the career politicians bear vastly more responsibility for the outcome of elections than any individual person.

      You explicitly stated ONLY the democratic party was to blame and no one else. You cannot just ignore what you said lmfao. You did say, EXPLICITLY that they weren’t to blame . I wasn’t being disingenuous. You are, right now.

        Youre right, i said that. As i said in my pther reply, what i should have said is that there is no value in blaming individuals, but there is value in blaming the party.

      Overall agreed, but:

      I never said the people weren’t to blame

      Except in your first comment where you said nobody is to blame but the party?

        Yeah okay fair. I didnt reread my whole comment chain, and ive had multiple other chains of thought going on since then. Let me rephrase. Theres no value in blaming the people, however there is value in blaming the party.
