You cannot blame voters for a reactions they had to a political party’s actions, especially when that action was to aid a genocidal campaign.
Although OP is being extreme by saying they are the same, so are you when you try to explain away the fucking shit show last election.
They could have told Israel to pound sand, instead they screwed us over. Stop scapegoating bro, the Democrats gave him the win when they started throwing punches at their own base.
I understand that the dems are dogshit and couldn’t get a rally behind them. But the fascists needed to be wiped out completely. We could have rallied against the rebublicans, and had more time to change the parties in power, but now we won’t be likely to get the chance to oust them ever again.
We have been shown with every election for the last half a century that anytime conservatives get power, they make it harder to take away, and make the world a worse place.
I don’t blame the voters, but I’m unhappy with all the people who thought this was the time to try to make a point to the dems by convincing others they shouldn’t vote against fascism. They didn’t try it when it was romney. They didn’t try it when it was bush and Carey, they decided the correct time to sow infighting was an actual real fascist with a team of sycophants who want to make him a king.
And most who decided they didn’t want to support the dems probably didn’t go to the polls at all, since it’s far too common for dipshit Americans to thinknonly the presidential campaign matters, so now not only is the president a king, but the down ballot positions support him as well.
The christofascists were always going to vote en mass for one side, as they always have. We were supposed to try and stop them. Now antifa is a terrorist group. People are being arrested for wearing free palastine shirts. Being queer is considered a mental illness. Wearing a mask at a protest is a crime. The mass surveillance that never should have started in the first place is not only strengthened, it’s data is for sale.
Everything just got a lot worse, and changing it just got a lot harder.
To put it succinctly, I see the voters as having gotten roped into doing something stupid because of the pure horror of the situation. The dems had a much better idea of the consequences and also helped build the situation. I also think that while not voting was the wrong move to make, it’s also understandable. What the Democrats did was a bad move but it also makes no sense and was overall reprehensible behavior.
Everybody sucks type of situation but some more than others.
More importantly, I also think the old guard needs to be ousted from the party and that won’t happen if they have a convenient scapegoat.

Hard to disagree with anything you just said.
To put it succinctly, I see the voters as having gotten roped into doing something stupid because of the pure horror of the situation.

I get the frustration aimed at voters though.
