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.

We are back to the original point that people are so determined to blame Democrats that they sabotage their own efforts to get something better.
Ah, I see, we are back to absolving Democrats of any agency or responsibility.
Why is it Democrats responsibility to get progressives to vote in primaries? If you don’t vote, politicians don’t care about your opinions.
Let’s not act like the Democratic primary process has been going well for the last elections - look how they treated Bernie, and there wasn’t even a primary for Harris - after she was quite unpopular in the previous primaries!
That’s not to mention that the Biden campaign before 2020 gave many signals that he’d be a one-term president. They said “we have to rally to defeat Trump”, and then just didn’t care to build up an alternative to Biden since they knew people would have to rally behind whoever they put up, since anyone would be better than Trump!
And if you don’t speak to voters, voters don’t care about politicians. Guess which one matters more?
