They told you repeatedly, over and over, clearly, for over a year, that running a Democratic candidate who supports the ongoing genocide will drastically reduce turnout in the Democrat base.

"Waaaaaaaaaaah. We're sending agreed upon arms shipments to our most important ally in the Middle East that we really don't want to lose as an ally. We're not going to vote or waste our vote on a 3rd party if that continues to show we're protesting that."

"Oops, now my country is a fascist state with a newly minted Gestapo and a tanking economy, repeated violations of the Constitution, a mad king, and our rights are being infringed upon. HEY, DON'T BLAME ME. I was just fighting corruption in the dumbest possible way!!!"

Your focus on infighting is misplaced at a time when we need to be building coalition to fight Trump and fascism.

"Hey guys, I know these dipshits just caused Trump and fascism to happen in the first place, but let's hold hands with them anyway and hope their innate stupidity doesn't hurt us more going forward."

The eternal electoral cycle:

Democrats ignore leftists

Democrats demand leftist votes

Democrats blame leftists (you are here)
