Abstentionists will damn themselves and everyone around them on principle. Shitty inconsistent principles at that. I’m angry about that, outraged even. But surprised? Baffled? In disbelief? Never. Dumb fucks ruining everything is just the way of the world.

This is an affirmation of your conclusion, btw. The DNC are stupid, as is the RNC base, as are abstentionists.
