    You people should be less worried about leftists who despise both parties and more worried about the huge amount of people who just don’t want to vote. Now it would be easier to convince people to get out and vote for an actual candidate rather than an artifact of campaign financing but hey, that’s your problem to solve. Tell the Democrats to do better next time.

      Shaming and blaming is so much harder than reaching unaffiliated/disaffected voters and winning them over.

      So much easier to denounce Ralph Nader for a 450 vote margin in Florida than to tap the 4M people who didn’t turn out in one of the lowest turnout elections in recent history.

      So much easier to claim the election was rigged in 2020 and kick off a riot than to get more people registered and in line to vote in Michigan or Pennsylvania or Georgia.
