Blaming voters is a loser strategy. Voters suck and they have always sucked. So fucking what? Effective politicians are the ones who overcome voter ignorance and apathy. That's the fucking job.

Yes, how dare we blame the mindless sheep, unable to make the most basic observations

They never had the chance, have you seen what passes for education in this country and how much propaganda gets shoved in our faces 24/7?

Kinda hard to justify blaming the voters when public opinion manipulation is a $500 Billion/year business.

Yes, brought to you by 50 years of Democratic failure.

I couldn't care less if blaming voters is justified. What I care about is that blaming voters is absolutely useless and even counterproductive. Blaming voters is how we get the "coastal elites" bullshit tied to the Democrats.
