    Yeah, this is the correct comment. We can’t control voters, but the Democratic party can control itself, and we can exert influence over it. Blaming voters can only work as a sort of stress relief, but it isn’t useful. It doesn’t put us in a position to win the next election. If anything, it probably does the opposite and makes those people hate us.

      Yeah. Voters is an abstract. It’s like hating the weather. No you hate rain, because it makes your hair frizzy.

      We hate the voters cause now we have a fascist and it’s easier to blame them and remove any further introspection or thoughts from your mind but it does nothing at best and more likely ends with a bunch of people hearing you talk down about others and thinking you are an asshole, which won’t get more to your shrinking side.

      So we must do what we can do and unfortunately it means the Democrats need to work on themselves. We have to be ready for the rain cause it doesn’t care that we hate it.
