Ah, yes, blaming the voters again!

Has that worked for you yet?

Non-voters are disproportionately poor people of color - exactly the same people who've been completely left out for the last 50 years.

So strange that there have been many Democratic presidencies in the last fifty years, and almost all of them have promised to codify Roe v. Wade in their campaigns, and yet immediately forgot about it when they won.

Democratic leaders feel that they naturally are owed the votes, and therefore actually delivering for the voters is not required.

It's funny - we've been arguing about this for years now, and everything has happened very much as I predicted, which is to say, very badly, and yet here we are again.

Biden turned out to be uninterested in actual change, and delivered exactly that, and now Democrats are finding that "nothing will fundamentally change" doesn't inspire anyone, and yet still refuse to change.
