    Same difference really.

    Edit: Seems I was not very clear, I am saying its equally as stupid (and destructive) for a party to blame voters as it is to blame non voters. You know since you tend to win elections by having more people vote for you then the other guys so villainizing and alienating voters/potential voters seems counter productive.

      When someone does something stupid, I think it’s only appropriate to blame them for stupid outcomes.

        Sure, but others can do that. Its a very stupid thing to do as a political party however.

          They did it leading up to the election as well. I thought Barack Obamas attempts to shame voters/non-voters was particularly distasteful. I can’t speak for others but for me, his words pushed me away from the democrat party, not towards it.

            Its the end state for a two party system I think. At this point there is not much attempt to run a campaign on policy or plan, just guilt flinging and excuses while both teams say don’t vote for the other guys as they are evil.
