    No, it’s not. We can argue whether or not she was really bad, or just not good enough, but the point is, when you have a choice between not perfect (or “bad” for the sake of argument) and objectively awful, and you choose nothing, then you’re equally responsible for the current state of things.

    There are people suffering and dying now because he’s in charge, and let musk take his stupid chainsaw to aid programs. Israel is still doing awful things to the Palestinians, and he did absolutely nothing to help the situation between Ukraine and Russia. He’s ramming into every guardrail in our government and breaking through many of them. There will absolutely and 100% be more death and suffering with him as president than if we had gotten Harris. This was obvious well before the election, however the scope and speed are surprising, pretending that abstinence is somehow the morally superior stance is mind boggling.

      Yeah it’s totally my fault she couldn’t stop looking for groups to alienate, groups in critical fucking areas.

      It’s my fault the dnc chose such an awful candidate

      It’s my fault the dnc had to switch lanes at the last second because the old senile man, half dead from ass cancer, couldn’t pretend anymore.

      I admit it. This was all my fault. Harris, her team, and thr party? All blameless.

        I’m glad to see you’re able to come to terms with it.

        Jokes aside, nobody is holding you responsible for her or her team’s actions. But you absolutely can be held accountable for enabling trump to win, and therefore what he’s doing now. You as an individual do not hold much blame, it’s spread out over millions who voted trump, or chose not to vote.

        If Harris won, and started doing all this same crap, I’d own my part of making that happen.

        We live in a shitty two party system, and the Overton window has shifted so far that the left isn’t even very left any more. But we’re all on the same damn bus, and when given a chance to vote in the driver, a bunch of people just sat there while the vote went to the unapologetic felon who was only there so he didn’t get sent to prison. So off the cliff we go, damaging the lives of countless people.

        The required participation was so small and easy, I can’t fathom the mental gymnastics it must have taken to skip out when one choice was so obviously and objectively better than the other.

          She can’t tjough. The democratic partyy cant. All the people who stuck with the dems ibstead of voting socialist when the dems shit themselves, so we could maybe have a united frpnt? Totally blameless.
