danc4498,

I’m not “blaming” anybody. If you are ok with “sending a message to the DNC” BY electing Trump again, that is your prerogative. But don’t act like there are more than 2 options this election cycle. There’s not. Trump wins, or Biden wins. Periodt.

I personally believe Trump would be willing to spend 4 years dismantling the democracy we have and putting in its place something like what Russia has. In addition to further damaging the rights of women (of all ages) and the LGBTQ community. He has already attempted to overthrow the government once. Giving him another election win will only make him feel even more empowered.

I don’t honestly care if you believe me or not, but I have never supported Clinton or Biden in the primaries, and I would never support anybody like them in the future. The primaries and main election are 2 different things. And there has never been a candidate like Trump before, so my actions now have nothing to do with my actions before or in the future.

Lastly, I’m not silencing anybody! You can give out your grievances all you want. March in the streets, hold up signs, give speeches, create tik toks… whatever you want. But if you think protest voting is the way you’re going to “change the DNC”, then you MUST accept the consequences of that. Those being, Trump WILL win and zero change will come to the DNC.

If you think this is vote shaming or blaming, it is not! It is pointing out the consequences of someone’s actions. If pointing out the consequences makes you feel defensive, then maybe the actions are a problem. If you feel that the consequences are acceptable, then there is nothing wrong with the actions and there’s no need to complain about somebody pointing them out to you.
