If we can't be bothered to vote in the primaries, wjy would anyone believe us that a progressive candidate would somehow lure millions more to vote?

As I know the comments will be, uhhh, fun, I've turned off reply notifications.

Because the DNC will sue to keep them off the ballot and win, and when constituents sue the DNC for not keeping their promises and the DNC will argue they are are a private entity or something (I forgot the exact argument), and under no obligation to keep their promises, and win. 🤷‍♀️

What (presidential) primaries? I haven't had a presidential primary with more than one option since Obama 1, and I was slightly too young to vote. So maybe actually have fucking primaries?

EDIT: yes I vote in all the other primaries I can.

Never knew you could vote for primaries, it was explained to us by the adults growing up that primaries are voted by your representatives. When we learned that was a flat out lie the last primaries we could vote in was too late and now we dont even live in USA anymore. Damn

If they put up Gavin Newsom I'm staying home. Additionally I will encourage anyone I know to do the same. I haven't stayed home for a primary since I've been able the vote.

I refuse to vote for another centrist Democrat and I'm tired of acting like the only option is to choose the lesser of two evils.
