Our choices were Fascism or Corporatism. Why wouldn't we blame the parties?
I blame the Democratic party as much as anybody else for not being progressive enough, but nobody can blame a party for their own decision not to vote.
Are you one of the people who consider voting third party to be tantamount to not voting?
I think he's referring to people who didn't vote because "both sides are bad"
No, voting third party is different from not voting, but in some situations (like when there's a danger of someone like Trump winning), voting for the most viable candidate is far more rational than voting for a guaranteed loser to send the system a wholly ineffectual message that you're not happy with it. In that case you're just jerking off in the corner.
