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.

    One does not simply walk into a DNC lair to vote and expect a warm welcome with open arms. Everyone knows that the DNC is corrupt. Progressives need to organise grassroots first, lobby and then work their into the political machinery. This is how the civil rights activists in the 1960s did and modern progressives should learn from them; kinda like how the fascists also learned.

      The civil rights movement didnt just organize grass-roots, they essentially held a gun to the head of the democratic party

      They actively worked against the DNC in most cases, since they were famously reluctant to embrace it
