Whenever I talk to any Democrat supporters, they by-default cheer their Presidents and then I've to remind them of their leader's illegal wars and war crimes. They condemn those acts and they go back to their cheerleading role - Why do they keep forgetting atrocities committed by their leaders? Why do they accept war criminals as their leader?

Until we do away with first past the post

ETA? Because in the vast majority of solid blue states, First-past-the-post voting is still used. How those states vote is controlled at the state level. These are solid blue states we are talking about, no republicans in the way.

Nothing is stopping the democrats in these states from proving their intentions today. Prove it.
