If you sleep through classes for an entire semester and fail the exam, that's entirely your own fault.
I guess you didn't quite understand my implications.

If there was a solution, the political strategists who have devoted their lives to studying this probably would have figured it out by now.

(In case it wasn't clear, I don't mean your one single protest vote. I mean the 7 million people like you with a blatantly flawed and irrational mindset)

He was also my preferred choice, and my favorite politician of all time. It's a very short list.
Our views are similar, the difference is I accepted reality and navigated it in a rational and thoughtful manner.

You're ignoring reality. Sitting out to protest in 2016 didn't get you Bernie in 2020. It didn't get you Bernie in 2024. It got you the worst president in history, twice.
"In the pursuit of greatness, we failed to do good". That's you. Ponder on that.

The difference is, dumb republicans still vote. Dumb democrats sit at home to protest the 1% of the policies they disagree with instead of voting for the 99% of policies they agree with.
Accept that fact and perhaps we can have a meaningful discussion.

You can either accept reality and vote as a form of harm reduction, or you can deny reality with your protest. How did your protest non-vote work out in 2016? Did anything change?
There are two imperfect parties. That's it. One is purely bad and one at least does some good.

You're not getting your perfect candidate. That's just not reality. Sitting out 2024 doesn't get you Bernie in 2028. It gets you four years of unnecessary hardship.

I "hate" (to use your term) that blanket tariffs don't work and will cause more inflation. His supporters don't "love" him for that reason. His supporters are too dumb to understand tariffs.

It's sad that democrats lost due to a significant number of people trying to "send a message" with nuanced, yet horribly misguided and irrational ideas. Meanwhile trump can do literally anything and the morons vote for him.

All the next administration has to do is literally nothing and they'll look competent. Instead, we'll get a new wave of inflation caused by stupidity rather than global issues.

Separately, but related, nearly 90% of trump supporters couldn't explain what a tarrif is.
I've already answered your question, but to be explicitly clear - yes, voters are very stupid.
