“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

    Biden will win some and lose some no matter what he does. He’s probably not too concerned about this.

      Ok, since it’s not a big deal and he doesn’t need to worry, no blaming these people if he loses. If he doesn’t need their votes to win, they can’t cause his loss.

          Right here. Don’t know how you missed it.

                the original post suggested not worrying about appeasing certain people on the issue as there is a significant support from all sides.

                That’s different than whether people who didn’t vote for Biden can be blamed for anything. When democracy itself is on the ballot it’s hard to justify voting against it, regardless of some foreign policy grievance.

                  If they’re so insignificant that their concerns can be safely ignored, then they’re too insignificant to blame for losses.

                    I said there’s significant support on both sides, not insignificant.

                    I think your confusion is coming from the blame part, anyone who didn’t vote for Biden who was able to has some blame imo. We’re literally talking about a vote to preserve democracy, any subsequent vote is pointless.

                    But that’s my stance, others may assign blame differently. As you noted, some people might try to put blame specifically on this set of voters, to each their own.
