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’d rather be the nice stranger on the side of the road helping you change your flat tire than to be thrown into the mix of blind color voting.

    Even with that said, I’d still help you change your tire, whether you’re red, blue, tan or brown.

    That’s just the sort of person I am.

      And that’s great. Ideally there would be more people with that mindset of helping others. As I mentioned this isn’t blind color voting. You either support gay and trans rights, or you support Republicans. You support teachers and the poor, or you support Republicans. Take color out if the equation and take voting at its merits like it should be. It just so happens that all of the worst shit is Republican, so it’s easy to know who to vote for if you have good ideals, which it sounds like you do.

      If you want to help the most people possible, then it behooves you to vote blue, or do some spot research right before heading to the polls, which will ultimate lead you to the same conclusion.

        Thank you, seriously thank you 👍

        I still don’t know how voting actually works, when it happens in my area, when it is, where it is, or how to even properly look all that up without AI slop answers now.
