      It doesn’t matter whether the single-issue “punish Biden for genocide” voters’ attitudes are stupid and self-defeating; they exist and the Democratic Party has to either acknowledge that and capitulate by finally doing the right thing (shock, horror!), or suffer the consequences of losing and plunging the country into fascist dictatorship.

      Edit: I thought of a better way to put it: the Democratic Party delusion of blaming the leftists for its own failure is ultimately even more stupid and self-defeating.

        Seriously… How much of a fucked up dystopia do you have to live in that “If you want people to vote for you, don’t support a fascist genocide” is considered a radical leftist agenda?

        But given the stupid voting system in the US it tantamount to a tacit approval of the other guy.

          Lack of enthusiasm lowers turnout. People don’t have to think Trump is better to stay home, they just have to be unmotivated. I’m not saying it’s a good decision — I think it’ll destroy the country —but it’s reality.
