Drag doesn't care what your excuse is.
My excuse? Firstly, I'm from Europe, I can't vote in American elections; secondly, I'm replying to people making excuses for why Kamala lost, perhaps you should direct your comment at them.
The ones who need to excuse themselves, in order, are: Republicans; their voters; and finally the Dems for not having primaries (twice), not running a winnable campaign, and trying to appeal to the center-right.
Drag doesn't mean your excuse for not voting. Drag means your excuse for justifying other people's decision not to vote. They elected a fascist and you're defending them. There is no excuse.
Blame the Democratic Party for not winning their vote in "the most important election of our lifetimes" and instead trying to appeal to the center right.
To sort of reiterate the point in my original comment, let me ask you two questions. You don't have to give me the answers, but at least ponder them internally:
What's your opinion on people who voted for Trump despite everything he's done, and try to blame all their problems on immigrants and leftists?
Why do you refuse to hold the Dems accountable for their campaign and the policies they run on, and keep trying to throw the blame on other people?
Blame isn't finite resource. Blame is infinite. Harris deserves all the blame. The voters also deserve all the blame. And people like you who demotivated the voters also deserve all the blame. You are all 100% responsible. And drag still doesn't care about any of the excuses you've continued to give.
When you make assumptions, you make an ass of you and me both. Here's the last comment I made on the electoral race, July 25th, after Biden stepped down.
Since then, I haven't said anything about it. But sure, if it makes you feel better, just keep on throwing blame everywhere except where it lies, like a monkey throwing feces everywhere. I don't have to excuse anything.
