    I certainly will blame the dumbass votes that gave 2016 to Trump because they couldn’t stomach voting for Hilary.

    Independent voters were 5% in a lot of states. Low turnout.

    It’s a functionally two party system. Pick the less bad side, or stfu

      As always, Dems blame everyone and everything but themselves. Hillary didn’t even visit very important states she needed. SMH

        Hillary did fuck up, as did the people who refused to vote for her. It’s not an either or situation. Plenty of blame to go around.

        Trump and the GOP are irredeemable trash, and the only thing wrong about Hillary calling them deplorables, is that it’s way more than half. Biden and the Democrats currently single out MAGA Republicans as being terrible fascists, but at this point, all Republicans are terrible fascists. Even the Republicans that pushed back on Trump and got kicked out of the party are terrible. The main reason the Democrats don’t say Republicans are all bad is that they still need conservatives who dislike Trump. If left wing voters become a large enough and reliable force in the party, there’s less need to rely on conservatives to maintain a majority.
