You intentionally miss the point. When we disillusion voters ourselves by claiming the only supportable option isn't worth supporting, we not only lose our right to claim voters aren't responsible for anything, we tear at the fabric of society that we claim to want to support.
I never said that during campaigns, there's a difference between saying it now, when there's no election, and saying it during election.
During election I pointed out the benefits of voting democrat.
You apparently can't distinguish between reflection and campaign.
Your message is simply the wrong message at the wrong time.
But you've forgotten something crucial: for the BlueMAGA faithful, it is always 'during election'. Only two years to midterm, after all.
Seems like you dont think you cant pressure any dem candidate into any sort of position at all -- especially before a primary. Part of the problem these past few elections is the DNC hasnt been running fair, timely and open primaries. We all saw what they did to Bernie Sanders in 2016 as well, and the outcome of the lawsuit after that. The DNC said in court they could pick the candidate in a smoke filled back room if they wanted, and they had no responsibility to run a fair primary as they are a privately owned corporation. Anything about fairness was simply marketing that couldnt be interpretted legally. And by coincidence, their manipulations continued and they keep losing voters.
