cmv: Being angry at voters who didn't vote for Harris for what's happening right now is stupid and pointless
Blaming voters for an election loss is pathetic loser behaviour and focuses blame on the wrong spot. Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and the party lost the election. The voters didn't fail you, the campaign did.
It is the job of a political campaign to win over voters and regardless of what you think the reasons for the election loss were, the place to point the finger begins with the party, the candidate, or the campaign organizers.
Blaming the voters might make you feel good, make you feel vindicated for your choice of Harris over Trump or over not voting, but it is ultimately useless for fixing the problem and amounts to the same kind of logic of blaming potential customers for not buying your product.
Blaming the voters leaves you in a worse position for the next election because it will lead to writing off potential voters which is a losing strategy for any election.
Even if you say "well, it wouldn't have even mattered if the Democrats and Kamala changed their campaign, there's no way they could overcome gerrymandering or Trump cheating or billionaire donations" you should still logically arrive at a cause for the loss that IS NOT voters themselves, but instead is corruption, or campaign finance laws, or a poor national education system, etc.
