I absolutely blame some voters. Especially the ones who refused to vote for a female leader even though they didn't like Trump. Especially the ones who refused to vote at all because neither candidate was "perfect".

I can slice it many ways, but none of those ways are, "Kamala is single handedly responsible".

I voted Kamala but lemme tell ya something, I sure as fuck dont blame anyone for NOT voting for her after pissing all over Palistinians, trotting out GOP war criminals as allies and basically giving half of GWB's re-election speech at her nomination convention. I was all in on her despite her past actions but that DNC convention speech was horrifying. She made it REAL clear who she was planning to serve, and it was NOT Democrat voters.

Also, FUCK JOE BIDEN. I did NOT vote for that shithead because you don't fucking vote for assholes that spend their entire goddamn lives in the Beltway on the public dole. He has NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what is happening in American lives and HE is solely responsible for trump.

When enough voters say end the genocide or bust, don't be surprised when you bust after announcing continued support for genocide.

Politicians need to learn to listen to voters. Do not blame voters for this trump presidentency, blame the DNC.

I blame the DNC plenty, but I don't blame them solely. There are many, many people that deserve blame.

Things aren't black and white, they're blurred lines of grey.

If the voters say they're black and white it doesn't matter. The politicians need to play ball, not the other way.

Or we just need to guillotine the politicians.

I'm sick of playing a game to cater to them, they need to cater to us.
