    Probably more to do with the mass delusion and post truth world we live in.

    And yes, enabling the greater evil is a failing of the people who voted against their interests because less evil wasn’t good enough.

      Democrats enabled the greater evil by ignoring the interests of the constituencies they needed to win. It doesn’t matter if the lesser evil is objectively the right choice - they still need millions of people to go to the booth and make that choice, and nobody has more control over voter enthusiasm than the democrats themselves.

      This is nobody’s fault but the democrats.

        Individuals are reponsible for their actions. They didn’t need to support the dems just have a spine and vote against Trump.

        Democrats enabled the greater evil by ignoring the interests of the constituencies they needed to win.

        Because they didn’t cut ties with Israel? There’s no reality in which America is going to break up with their most important ally in the Middle East. Did you want Democrats to lie that they’d break ties so they could win and then go back on that promise? Flip flopping like that is what leads a country to having exactly zero allies.

        I guess they had faith in Americans to be informed enough to know that despite not being perfect, they’re INFINITELY better than Republicans. But that faith was 100% misplaced because Americans, my friend, are DUMB.

          Because - far from ‘cutting ties’ with Israel - they actively shielded them from international accountability and continued supplying them with the bombs they were (and are still) dropping on Palestinian children

        That is literally the fucking opposite of how voting works. You only got two choices for a winner here Biden or trump and not voting Biden = trump.

        You guys seem to think there’s a 3rd option here.

        First past the post voting literally shows otherwise. You are a fool.

        They did enable the greater evil, but it was voters who ultimately put them in office, not Democrats. The buck stops with the voters. Or it did - they made sure it won’t any more.
