Donald Trump allowed themselves to be convinced that the duly selected Democratic nominee is a "corporate approved establishment candidate" and therefore it would be a "sacrifice of their principles and ideals" to vote for her, even if it meant that a greedy, crooked, ignorant, inexperienced pig of a man living in the pocket of Russian oligarchs and strongmen, is destroying our democracy, is putting babies and toddlers in cages, is stripping away union and individual rights, is inciting deadly violence against the press, is encouraging racists, Nazis and KKK, is about to shove the Supreme Court further right to the point that civil rights are being eviscerated and Roe v. Wade will likely be overturned, has debased public discourse to the point that we may never dig it back out of the much (and that's just a partial list) would become president of the United States.

The problem is that people that stupid or craven or un-American (or combination thereof) not only had an influence on such an important election but continue to have enablers and defenders who will blatantly smear Democrats on a Democratic discussion board in language virtually cut and pasted from sources that no serious person would give any credence to, much less consider as anything even remotely intended or likely to advance progressive principles or goals.
