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.

I vote in the primaries, but for the independent ballot. None on the Dem ballot represent me by sticking too close to the centrist/center-right stances the party has. I can always find several people that speak for me on the independent ballot.

I'm like 100 sure that major news outlets specifically limit how much they talk about it, hoping people forget to vote.

If you vote in the primaries in some states it’s public which ballot you choose and that is how they know who you vote for! Yay!

Yeah, definitely no context to go into with primaries. But I'm glad you're picking the important fights at times like this.

How do you turn off reply notifications (especially for comments)? It's the one feature I miss from reddit and I thought I lost it for good when I switched!

Your vote for a third party without ranked choice voting is a waste of your vote

My district is +13 democrat.

So as someone who actually understands the hideous monstrosity we call the electorial college, I'll vote for whoever I like.

3-4% on an exit poll is more of a change than my vote would have anywhere else.

If you are not a registered member of a party, you don't get to vote in primaries.
