That's what it comes down to. I'm tired of the moving goal posts. Hope it works out for you blaming this on some progressive boogie man that didn't vote for Clinton like that election was that simple to break down. Focusing your rage there should help a lot in making sure things don't get worse.

Not arguing that. The original post I responded to indicated young voters don't bother. Cuthbert Allgood Jun 2022 #83
