I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

The time for voting is over. It’s time for fighting now, and I don’t think “I told you so”s are helping us unite and work together right now.

Both can happen at the same time. We don’t need to love our ally to fight against a shared enemy. Especially when you feel your ally helped empower them.

Can they though? I mean to some extent maybe but I think it needs to be carefully articulated and respectful. The typical one line takedowns are just signals of tribal affiliation, they don't persuade anyone and just increase animosity between us.
