you guys continue to gaslight what it effectively was

You keep using that word but I’m not sure you know what means.

What it wasn’t was an opportunity to change the system by making a political statement

I’m not even advocating for people to vote third party or boycott the election. I’m just making the argument that if a political party wants a group of people’s votes, they should court those people. If they fail to do so, and those people choose not to vote for them, the political party only has itself to blame
