I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

    The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

    Give them something to vote for. You can write articles of many paragraphs to analyze the course of the election, but in the end it boils down to this: The DNC pissed off too many of their voters and offered nothing in return.

      Exactly this! You can’t just “lesser of two evils” your way through life as you slide towards hell. “Lesser of two evils” isn’t a choice, it’s a hostage situation.

        Choosing the bigger evil ain’t the way out of it though. Unless you are an accelerationist that believes things have to get worse before it can get better.

          You can’t get out of a hostage situation by making out with either of the two bank robbers.

            no one is making out, but you if it’s life or death you would listen to their demands until help arrives/opportunities arise.

              This ‘logic’ (and metaphors are not logic) is why help isn’t coming.
