That blood is on the hands of those who wanted to keep 'clean'.

You're already doing it. You're already instinctively blaming people in a moment when it's impossible to know whether they would've made a difference.

Oh no, that they "wouldn't have made a difference" doesn't absolve them, no more than it absolves twats in deep red states for voting Trump, despite their vote "not making a difference" in whether their state went red.

They have blood on their hands, regardless of whether they were the tipping point. Enjoy it.

We all have blood on our hands, we are all part of this machine against our own will. Moralism will get you nowhere

So make sure it's as much blood as possible, huh?

Millions of people didn't vote across several swing states.

It has been widely discussed that certain purity test failures by Harris kept voters home.

Purity politics is not the only thing on the table, but it's certainly one of them. It's not all leftist's fault. At all.

I heard it was mostly white suburban men who didn't show up to vote. Not really a big leftist demographic.
