Bullshit. The last election and the next election may be separate things. You might support the right group in the next election, but that doesn’t mean you didn’t fuck up in the last election. Either you voted for Kamala in the last election or you didn’t and as a consequence of that you led to the problem we are currently in.

You have the opportunity to vote against this problem next time, if there is a next time, but that doesn’t absolve you from your past mistakes. Don’t be a child and hide from past mistakes, admit them and change, don’t pretend they weren’t mistakes.

This discussion is about owning mistakes, not forgiving them. I’m happy to forgive someone for making a mistake, but before forgiveness comes repentance.

The previous post I responded to said that we shouldn’t be “Punching down by portraying people you theoretically want on your side as villains.” Well at some point those people need to take responsibility for their own actions rather than pretending they didn’t have a part to play.

Maybe when Medicare and Social Security are gone, nonviolent immigrants are in a prison in El Salvador, and trans people are arrested for taking a piss you might start to change your opinion about the last election.
