Look at them all doing somersaults in the comments trying to justify their shitty decisions. Jokers all of them

"Democrats talking about how they totally have to keep backing a genocide, bombing kids, torturing innocent people, screwing over their voter-base, voting the way their rich donors tell them to, in order to win elections"

"Trans people in the US who are 1 electoral loss away from being put in camps"

Fixed that for you

There's that story about a boy who cried "wolf".

Unless you literally mean "being put in camps", you shouldn't use this as a metaphor for less dangerous events.

Also ... why do you even think it would be better otherwise. A reminder - the other mainstream option was that party that didn't even care about picking a popular enough candidate. Almost a kingdom inside the nation. They literally imitated Idiocracy, thinking that'll be popular.

Anyway, as someone in Russia - I both appreciate that you over there still have some democracy and wish for you to see the fake parts of it as early as possible.

Its mostly solid blue state leftists who refuse to vote dem. Them voting would literally make no difference at all in the national outcome, and when it would have mattered in primaries the democrat party decided they knew better anyway.

Unless you think all the people vocally refusing to vote dem are in swing states, your problem is with the rigged primary and electoral collage system, not leftist in places like california who dont want to support team blue.
