    Primaries are where we can fight. Every DINO needs to be primaried, and we need to start fucking showing up to primaries. IIRC primary elections are voted in by only like 10-20% of eligible voters.

      You can see in this post how the DNC tries to invalidate even fighting in the primaries.

      1. Mamdani wins the primary
      2. The DNC does everything in their power to make him lose in the general election
      3. When he loses, they can point to that and go “see voters just don’t want that!” In the next primary.

      So even after winning in a primary, anyone left of Nixon is going to get rat fucked by the party so they can keep up their bullshit electability narrative.

      If the dems use skullduggery to avoid primaries, they are no longer ‘the lesser evil’ and the old blue-no-matter-who arguments do not apply anymore.

      It’s not that deep. Give me a real choice in a primary.
