The Democrats WAS offering something terrible. Just because Trump is worse, doesn’t make what the Dem offered not terrible. If your side had acknowledged this instead of attacking everyone who tried to tell you, maybe you’d have a chance at making the DNC offer something that the voters actually wanted and actually be able to beat Trump. But no, instead everyone that wasn’t blindly accepting everything the Dems offered is treated like the enemy before the election, and now you even continue doing so after the election.
You’re just living in la la land if you think doing this will make people finally support your cause. This is why I say you’re acting smug. You only care that you were right over these people, and not over the consequences of your action on your country’s ability to fight full-on fascism in the near future. What you’re doing is the same as the non-voters, making the wrong choice for the sake of teaching the non-voters a “lesson”. It’s just another chain of stupid decisions the non-fascists are making to enable the rise of fascism.
I’d say good luck dealing with the consequences if you decide to continue doing this. I might not be directly affected by this, by I would definitely feel the fallout after the fact. At that time, I won’t be blaming you any less for enabling fascism than the non-voters.
You’re using the same logic my dad uses to rail against going to Mars. He says there is no worthwhile reason to go there when more pressing matters on earth are in abundance.
Just like you, he is missing the forest for the trees, angrily ignorant to the fact that the knowledge you gained from trying to achieve a seemingly worthless achievement is the actual value, not in the achievement itself.
The achievement is just a convenient goal to make the science more exciting to the general public so as to garner more financial support from both private and government sources. Each of the steps needed to gain that achievement may not have gained as much funding as they do now if they were presented separately from that final goal.
