If you openly say "we are going to fight you" you don't get to cry about the other side fighting back sorry

As everyone with any sense who wasn't blinded by ideology knew they would! Most candidates drop out when it becomes clear they don't have a viable path rather than wasting their donors' money and their volunteers' time.
Bernie 2016's zombie vanity campaign is the very rare exception!

Leftists have undermined the resistance against Trump at every turn and have regularly, reliably tried to normalize him, make it seem like he's not so bad, justify how the Democrats are worse because ~Gaza~ (like we don't know what Trump would have done)

The fucking irony, jesus christ
We weren't the ones who spent a year+ talking about how virtuous it was to withhold your votes from Democrats despite the existential threat of Trump.
You don't get to talk about how much you're going to fight someone and then get shocked when they fight back.
