(52,999 posts)You clearly are unwilling to think beyond a rant. You are pissed off at the party. You start by framing it in terms of their responsibility for Trump's election and now evade the most simple questions about whose votes you are insisting they lost because of the failings you cite. Clearly you are arguing the Dem Party deserved to lose because of those failings, but you won't even admit those are reasons for your own vote let alone anyone else's. You insist even asking about votes is asinine, when it is votes that determine electoral outcomes.
You refuse to as much as face your own argument let alone the consequences of what you are justifying. You respond to points about the implications of your argument with weak distractions like "provide quotes where I said that", when it was abundantly clear I was not trying to summarize your point but talk about contradictions in your argument (in my response today) and real-life consequences in my response of two days ago. You refuse to deal with either and resent being asked to do more than emote. Your singular focus on your anger is inadequate. Politics is not about your personal catharsis but the nation as a whole. You condemn the Democratic leadership for lacking the strength to fight, while showing that you yourself lack the of courage of your convictions to deal honestly with your own argument.
