I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

Let’s say you’re completely right. How does insulting people’s poor choices 4 months ago help us in the present? We can’t create resistance and solidarity if we hold grievances from the past.

Because some people, mostly just tankies and anarchists pretending to be moral abstainers, are unapologetic about helping elect fascism. By exposing and shaming them, onlookers will reconsider their own stance.

There are actual Nazis in this administration, and you’re worried about “tankies?” Get it together man.

Because the people who enable to problem are part of the problem.

I'm a war you will cut off supply lines for the same reason, errode support. The commander doesn't say "people are dying on the front line and you're worried about stopping trucks transport bread? Get it together man."

God forbid the tankies should fight the Nazis again, right?
