I hold the Democratic party entirely responsible for trying to win by stealing Trump’s base instead of working with the left. The voters cannot themselves be to blame in this kind of election because that assumption destroys democracy. If I must vote for one of two bad candidates then the parties are never pressured to even pretend they represent the people. This isn’t hard, 19 year old college freshmen learn this stuff.

Yes, and the people at fault are the democratic party, their consultants, and people like tracy who can’t get over their vaunted ‘lesser evil!’ world view to realize just how fucking toxic as individuals they are. we’re engaging because tracy needs the release and others need to see how toxic it is.
