6. I honestly don't hold that most democrats stayed home...

I think it's a republican bugaboo put out there to discourage us, and the democrats don't say anything against it because, why not? Make the voters both the victims and the ones who victimized each other.

No... no one will ever convince me this election was stolen outright by tech hanky panky. No conspiracy theory...

And while people like us progressives have legitimate beefs with centrist democrats, we're not so dumb as to not vote. But we ARE getting damned tired of everyone telling us everything is all OUR fault, and that are concerns are just not top priorities. We've been putting up with that for decades, and now look... women, POC, and non-CIS people are less than 2nd class citizens. WE aren't the privileged crowd of first world status who mucked things up. WE are the ones trying to get us out of the muck! And I fear, thus it will be until "regular" centrist democrats and third way democrats stop demeaning us.
