    Your whole statement sums up nicely why the Dems CAN blame the left: you “will not be voting for Biden”. Even if you abstain from voting for either candidate, in political speak a non-vote is a +1 for your opponent instead of the +2 your vote would have been for the Dems. Looking at this as a third party, you Americans really need to break out of the 2 party system by finding a way to add at least a third viable party, using some version of Ranked Choice Voting or ideally both. Mainstream + Social Media + 2 party system is killing your country.

      Ok. I mean you blamed me anyway even when I did vote for you, so much of a muchness really. Maybe you should try blaming those moderate fascists who you dumped the left to try and court for not voting for you.

      That would require one of the two parties to feel like they were losing enough votes to third parties to actually implement it.
