    The same story down the ticket is that Democrats feel entitled to progressives votes and conitnously adjust to be just slightly better than Republicans.

    As you saw they rather handed the country to Trump than stop a genocide and aclnowledge the cost of living crisis.

    You have no power to reward people that feel entitled to your vote. You only have the power to punish them.

      You didn’t “punish” them in the slightest, they’re not the ones who will suffer, you punished everyone else instead by deliberately acting to boost the republicans.

      To be clear, this is not a good, or even acceptable situation, but it is the reality. Each voter had the choice to accept that reality and work within it to seek out the least bad result or vote as if their fantasy was true, and aid the republucans.

      The time for trying to change the Democrat positions is every other day, not on the day of a massively consequential election.
