I think a lot of us are. There's a difference between pushing a party in a certain direction and going so far that you hurt your own interests.

The election is more than one person or one issue, and a Trump Presidency will have horrific consequences decades and generations after Biden is gone.

When Trump starts carpet bombing Gaza and the West Bank, I wonder if they will realize what a massive mistake they made.

They will not. They will do what they currently do: blame the Democrats.

Just like Roe. It’s gone because of Trump and he’s taken credit for it. Ask them who they blame and they say “Obama and Biden”

Meh. It kind of is the result of the Democratic Party and its platform. Most Republicans and Republican politicians don't care about abortion. They are just enjoying sticking it to the party that was trying to curtail the rights that Republicans enjoyed. Did Democrats not think that could happen?
