You mean?

- Everything the Democrats screw up on is the Democrats fault.

- Everything the Republicans screw up on is the Democrats fault.

So the only correct thing to do is vote for Republicans? This is why America can't have nice things.

How could this possibly be the conclusion to someone saying the Dems are what led us to Trump?

Maybe just say what you mean instead of posting reactions. ie if you think the Dems brought about Trump say why, and whatever you think the better idea than voting for them is.

There are two parties, and no realistic path for a third. So blaming one is essentially endorsing the other.

That doesn’t follow. Are we not supposed to expect better of our representatives?

You are supposed to vote for the best choices you have, or write someone in if you want. It isn't reasonable to vote for the worst choice and expect better results. Also, never let perfect be the enemy of "not as bad as the other choice", unless you want to see the country/economy/world burn.
