Its so hilarious how this ridiculously toxic culture around blaming third party was developed, worked on for months, and then when it came time, the impact of third parties was so utterly irrelevant as to be laughable.

The real beef was with stay home single EDIT issue folks who would otherwise be Dem voters.

Edit for clarity: the above group are historical, nominally Dem voters, who stayed home abnormally this election.

3rd party "voices" were annoying because they only punched at Dems, never at republicans. Interestingly, a few of them migrated to libertarian and conservative instances now

None of us would "otherwise be dem voters". What part of "I'm not voting for you because I don't support your policies" did you not understand?

Many "normally / historically" Dem voters stayed home. That's the group I'm referring to by "single issue" section.

I don't know who you "us" are so why would I speak for you?

Because you've been so civil in your reply, I'll throw an edit on there just for you.

Just because someone voted Democrat before doesn't mean they would necessarily do so this year if it hadn't been for that pesky genocide they are doing.

By us I mean leftists, party voters, and people who did not vote

That's fine, I clarified I'm not discussing leftists.

Registered party voters represent millions and millions of voters. That type of "historical" voter is not an anomaly.
