Maybe next time the Dems should run a candidate that at least pretends to care about what the voters want. That tends to help in elections.
All of this I agree with. Unfortunately it won’t happen until all the neolibs are run out of the party.
But trying to pretend like you didn’t directly elect a dictator by “abstaining” is not only absurd, but ethically reprehensible. Much of life is about choosing between lesser evils and lesser pains. Letting the worst options win because a perfect one doesn’t (and cannot) exist makes you a deliberate, willing accomplice.

I’d say painting all third party or non-voters to be more absurd and ethically reprehensible, as would most people with a brain
Or are you gonna claim the millions of votes in California that went up cast helped trump win? Elections in the US aren’t simple, people need to stop oversimplifying them
