    Again, if they are dumb enough to believe that the DNC actively sabotaged the party because Reasons then they would otherwise be dumb enough to consider themselves “moderate” or “apolitical” under any other context.

    At which point… it doesn’t matter. Someone who is going to refuse to vote because 12 years ago jet fuel didn’t melt steel beams or whatever are going to refuse to vote because “my vote doesn’t matter” or “this candidate is too old” or whatever. And they are the kind of voters who are swayed by the strongman bullshit anyway.

    Anyone who ACTUALLY cares about politics and social issues are going to vote along those lines. We won’t like it but we will. And the rest? They are just as easily won over by one snazzy commercial before a pewdiepie video. And then they still won’t bother to vote because they are angry that they were asked to pick a political party when they renewed their driver’s license ten years ago.

    All engaging the stupidity does is legitimize it.
