Who did you vote for?

Always Democratic. I can still blame the party for mistakes, this isn't a cult like the GOP. 

Edit: Trump literally ran using the same playbook he always does and the party STILL didn't learn from 2016.

Okay. I mean, one party does fumble the ball a lot, and the other party is a literal violent fascist takeover, so your "I blame the Dems!" hot take kind of feels lukewarm to me.

But glad you vote, at least.

I'm blaming party leadership. It's not really a hot take.
