I literally do blame the Democrats for Trump, and if you don't, you weren't paying attention.

Plenty of us were critiquing Clinton's campaign on those merits and were consistently talked down to in shocker the same way we're being talked down to now. Shocker, she lost. I remember saying a few weeks before the election "We're about to get Brexited." I put my vote down for Clinton, because Trump is fucking insane, and that was clear before he was President. It was clear in the fucking 1980's.

Being able to critique our leaders is supposed to be what is the difference between us and conservative voters. They're the cult who unquestioningly believes all the bullshit that comes out of Trump's mouth and diapers. I find it weird that people think we should be more like them in regards to our leaders like that would be a good thing.

I am telling you maybe wait until it doesn't risk the rise of fascism. If you can hold it in a few more months.

Is this one of those where telling people to wear masks is an attack on their liberties? I lose track.

Look, you can obviously say whatever you want, and I obviously can't stop you, but I don't know what you're trying to achieve, and I'm increasingly doubtful that you do, either, honestly. You either want fascists in power or you don't. And if you don't then it's an absolutely astounding position to be saying that somehow venting your opinion on social media takes precedence over that goal.

And yet here we are. As always, the left is more concerned with their purity tests and their feelings of disappointment than with achieving any tangible improvement. I should be used to it by now, because man, it happens all the time. But nope, unlike what the OP suggested I'm not getting over it. At all.
