Sorry to beat the same drum in a short amount of time, but this is where thinking Biden wasn’t doing enough has led. Perfect being the enemy of the good and all. Explicit calls for ethnic cleansing were at least not on the table with the last administration.
Literally none of that changes the self-destructive stupidity of letting Trump get into office.
It isn’t about whether the Democrats are exemplary or even decent. It’s about the actual result of your actions. Are the Democrats to blame for failing to act, for failing to prevent a second term, and for all the other mistakes and capitulations they’re guilty of? Absolutely. Does that absolve voters of responsibility? Not even a little bit.
At the end of the day, voters still decided that they were willing to let others suffer. They decided that Palestinians don’t matter, that health care doesn’t matter, that trans rights don’t matter, that immigrants don’t matter, that the environment doesn’t matter, that access to food and housing doesn’t matter, that reproductive rights don’t matter, and on and on and on, because it’s more important to send a message that they don’t approve of the Democrats.
Everyone who spread the narrative that they’re no different is complicit in everything Trump does, because this is what you chose. This is the supposed lack of difference. This is what you said doesn’t matter and isn’t important.
Nothing you say about the Democrats will wash the blood from your hands.
