The after-action analysis that the world will be doing will suggest what proportion of the blame goes to whom, but make no mistake - this is nothing but a loss for everyone on the left. "Electoralism can't fix our problems!" you cry. Ignoring electoral politics can sure as fuck make it worse.
The deaths in Gaza and Ukraine which could have been avoidable if Trump hadn't been returned to power? That blood is on the hands of those who wanted to keep 'clean'.
You're already doing it. You're already instinctively blaming people in a moment when it's impossible to know whether they would've made a difference.
