    You’re going around blaming people for fascism who have nothing to do with it.

      They had nothing to do with it but if they had voted, the US and to some extent the world wouldn’t be in this mess. And they’re trying to blame Dem strategists for their own failure to do the easiest thing, which was to hold your nose and vote for a stinking liberal rather than let a literal fascist win.

      Western electorates are so deep in the main character syndrome that when they fail they have to spin it as somebody else’s strategic error. Classic golden child bullshit.

          I mean, yeah, definitely also true. Kind of the pre-condition for this whole fiasco.

            Do we live in a functional democracy or not?

            Because either Joe Biden is a politician in a functional Democracy who made some controversial decisions and ultimately resulted in another Trump victory. He failed to represent the voters he was depending on for re-election.

            Or we don’t and voters aren’t responsible for the outcome.
