My fantasy would be for people like you to vote so that someone like Trump doesn't win the presidency. Unfortunately, your informed voter principles stuck us with an actual tyrant.

I did not realize when you said:

OR war criminals who promise that "nothing will fundamentally change"

That you were referring to Joe Biden. Aside from you laughably calling him a war criminal, I apologize for not recognizing a such a noteworthy quote from 2019. But since we're here, let's have the full quote, shall we?

"I mean, we may not want to demonize anybody who has made money. The truth of the matter is, you all, you all know, you all know in your gut what has to be done. We can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is it’s all within our wheelhouse and nobody has to be punished. No one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change.

So two elections ago, Biden assured a room full of rich people during a campaign event that they could continue being rich if he were elected. Then, during the 2024 election where he dropped out, you decided not to vote for his replacement, apparently based in part on this quote. Amazing.

People who are disillusioned by the electoral process give way to tyrants. People of Iran didn't want a dictator but when you overthrow a elected official that is what you get. What CIA did to other countries Russia did to you. Disillusioned people from their elected officials. What goes around comes around.

Not to take away any blame from the career democrats who still aren't doing anything.

If you give people do or die choice people might just chose to die.
