you blame the voters but you do not want to put an ounce of blame on the party that would rather lose an election than offer meaningful change

Uh…

the DNC is out of touch with voters.

What is this, if not shared blame?

i guess the implication is that he puts more blame on the voters, as that is what his comments are mainly focused on.

me personally I don’t blame the voters at all. just like I don’t blame the German public for voting in the Nazis.

humans are stupid herd animals who will elect strongmen when they feel weak and scared.

i believe you can only put blame on people that have autonomy. and the only people with any real autonomy in this country are the elites, which have stuck their fingers in their ears and their heads in the sand for far too long.

the pressure pot is cooking and I think it’s too late to stop it. maybe if we were a little less greedy over the last few decades and a little less focused on the short term, we could have skipped this resurgence of fascism that we’re about to live through

but politicians only care about the next election and corporations only care about the next quarter. we are a short term society and have sacrificed the long term health of our country

Interesting. That’s an angle I’ll have to consider. It seems like democracy with fixed terms and term limits has a similar problem to capitalism: myopia.
