I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

Maybe if some of them would accept responsibility, it would go a long way towards creating that resistance.

I’d actually have a lot of respect for someone someone that could admit they made a huge mistake, because it means they are self aware enough to know that their own behavior has consequences also.

And I can get behind people humble enough to own their mistakes.

But most of these people have the gall to blame people who voted for Harris, or blame Harris herself for not being perfect in every way.

So unless they find some humility, there won’t be any solidarity and I would even go so far as to urge others to refuse to find solidarity with anyone that does not have enough strength of character to own their mistakes.

Guess we should give up then, since things didn’t go our way. Right?

If that’s what you’re taking from what I said, then maybe your should read it again a few times.

Unless you mean to say that you’d rather suffer divided than own your part in the reason for it.
