Okay so the title of this post is a joke. But drag means it with a modicum of seriousness.

You see, the argument against this title is "We can't just blame everyone! If we did that, we'd be leaving people zero good options. We have to choose the least bad decision the voters could have made, and support that one."

Drag thinks this is a very sensible argument and agrees with it. We can't just say "screw every option, every action is bad" on principle. That's not productive. We have to choose some least-bad option to support.

Unfortunately, this argument is the same argument in favour of voting for Harris. A lot of people denied this same argument in the previous 6 months. They said no, you can just say "screw every option, every action is bad". They said not to support the least-bad option.

So therefore, drag is quite convinced that these people, for the sake of ideological consistency, ought to be condemning both the Harris voters and the non-voters.
