The Democratic Party needs to be taken out back and shot. Elections like this are why you’re now living in a metastasizing fascist state.

Not my cup of tea but... This is democracy?

If people wanted the more left leaning candidate they should've showed up and voted.

I agree. The people as represented by this and so many votes, suck. We have, very democratically, assembled the very fascist machine that is killing us and ironically the democracy itself.

Definitely some responsibility there, but I’m pretty sure it is mostly due to all the fascists.

The point I’m making is that those fascist have been allowed to fester because the “opposition” party hasn’t actually operated as opposition.

And I agree completely. But I think many assign the blame primarily to a weak opposition, which while true gives a tacit pass to the real evil driving the ship aground.
