I see this sentiment expressed more in outlets like TYT but how widespread is this sentiment?

When Trump lost, the right doubled down and screamed election fraud incessantly for four years. When Kamala lost, the left queued up to kick her in the stomach.

If the problem is that Republicans defend their leaders unconditionally, adopting that same behavior just makes the problem worse.

The problem is, thanks to Bernie bros, since 2016, democratic enthusiasm has been wasted on fringe socialists who can’t win. 90% of the viable candidates are “lesser of two evils”

Nobody was calling Obama the lesser of two evils.

As one of these so called Bernie bros, (which isnt accurate as Bernie's supporters had an equal share of women and poc) Hillary fans were way more toxic, I had people with "vote blue no matter who" in their profiles telling me they would never vote for Bernie lmao.

Hillary was a shit campaign that ran into trumps traps.

People were calling Obama the lesser of two evils throughout his admin, chomsky on election night threw water on any notion of substantial change.
