Funny, that works just as well in reverse: If "the left" is big enough that all the posturing about not voting for the lesser evil, and the moral purity BS caused Trump to win, they are responsible for untold horrors simply because they want to grand stand. If they aren't big enough, they're irrelevant anyway, so why would anyone care?

    If the left is small, then it was rightly ignored, but can't be blamed. If it's large, then it could be blamed, had it not been ignored. What you can't do is both ignore it and then blame it.

    This isn't feudalism, it's not the job of the peasants to mollify the Lord, getting votes is a politician's job. Blaming the electorate for your loss is an abrogation of responsibility.
