    Do you live in one of the 7 states where that even mattered?

      It matters for all of us, we have a way to contact the whole world at our fingertips.

      What we desperately needed and still need now is to support the DNC without fail, to convince people to vote blue no matter who. With better outreach we can right all the wrongs, with 60 D senators we can pass everything needed to fix this nation.

        The Blue no matter who thing is how you got here. It’s not a good strategy to always be like ‘the other guy is literally Hitler’, also, we’ll copy some of Hitler’s border policies, and we’ll go on the campaign trail with some of the people that enabled the previous guy that we called Hitler.

        If you want to get people that aren’t just committed democrats to vote for you, you need to offer them something, don’t just say the other choice is worse.

          The Trump votes barely changed, the Democrat votes decreased.

          How we got here is explicitly exactly the opposite of us voting blue no matter who.

            It’s exactly the result of the blue no matter who attitude: democrats got their blue no matter who base out, but anyone that only goes out to vote when they actively like a candidate stayed home, because democrats didn’t offer them anything besides orange man bad (which is true, Trump is a fascist, but normal voters don’t respond to this kind of messaging).

            Maybe next time run someone popular that speaks to traditional non-voters too, and force the vote blue no matter who people to vote for them instead.
