I don't understand this argument...
...t were a lot of people for whom Romney and McCain were not their preferred candidate, but who voted for them in the general election as a "lesser evil" than Obama.
But given that Romney (and McCain) both lost their elections, how is anything to be blamed on those who cast those losing votes? Had they not cast those votes in the general election, the only effect would have been to increase Obama's margin of victory.
So exactly what are the negative consequences of casting a losing vote for Romney for which those voters should bear "fault"?
Simple.
When your kid goes out and accidently shatters the neighbor's window playing baseball, who should bear the responsibility of his action? Little Suzie 3 blocks over playing with her puppy?
No. your kid should because it was his action that broke the window right? Because actions have consequense. Because actions require an actor by the very definition of the word.
So who should bear the responsibility of KNOWINGLY electing liberal Republicans who govern indistinguishably from an open Democrat? Should it be the person that voted them into power? Of course it should. Because actions have consequense and actions require actors. The Democrat did not try electing Romney. The Democrat did not Try electing John Mc. The Democrat did not elect Mitch and Jonbon and Ryan who gave Obama 100% of every major issue. WE did.
Some of us gave up cutting our throat long ago. I did not learn my lesson until McCain threw the election. But there hasn't been, ever, an excuse and NEVER is 'someone else' responsible for what we do. That's leftist magical thinking territory to pretend we are somehow existing outside outside the action/consequence law of nature.
So Who is responsible if not those of us that cast those votes? The people responsible.
So what is the consequence? We live in it. And we can either STOP being idiotic sheep and being led by people committed to continuing leading us to hell, or stop. Treat these people as the danger to America their actions show they are. Because at this stage, no one is unaware of the world around them. And if somehow there is, that person does not belong in an election booth.
