I agree the campaign was poor. I agree the party had small, terrible, and stupid ideas. I agree that chasing republicans is stupid.
I will still however yell at cowards who coddle people who think not voting is anything but moral cowardice. Just own it. Take some fucking accountability. Its fine to have issues and complaints, its suicide to encourage people to go full karen.
I would argue democrat donors preferred a trump win and preferred dem turnout be low because they had a decent campaign for a second and shut it down.
What your saying only makes sense if you operate from the idea dems want to win and not that they want to hand a victory their donors.
In 2016 actual democrat operative tried to twistpeople’s arms to vote. This election that energy did not come from the mainstream democrats. Their pitch was “we don’t need you, we want republicans instead”.
The calculus is different when you recognize both parties hate you.
