You'd think the fact Biden is significantly trailing in most swing states would be a sign for Democrats to wake up and offer something better. Or you know, not support the ethnic state doing a genocide. As this comment shows, instead of blaming the party, it's the voters who have the right point of view who are shamed for not bringing themselves to support the party. They're shamed for being on a high horse instead of compromising on their values and supporting a system that causes genocides. Sometimes the Democrats convince leftists but after enough time something like this happens, then they're cast as the enemies causing the other party to win.
You can't win as a leftist in this situation, "oh you don't want to support the party enabling a fascist ethnic genocide? Well it's your fault the fascist will win then!" Eventually it's just like fuck off. The Democrats made it clear they don't want a candidate with an almost certain chance of beating Trump, I mean they helped him get the nomination in the first place. If Trump wins again it's because the Democrats didn't do the bare minimum to select a candidate who actually connects with the voters they need. Blaming the people who are actually on the right side of every issue for their failure is more of a confession.
The only person who agrees with you on every subject is: you. This is why you vote for the least worst candidate. I'm Australian though. We have our own problems but I'm trying. Is that what progressive means?
