      No it doesnt. stop telling yourself this lie all you’re doing is preventing real solutions being brought to the fore.

      Realize that democratic moderates are shit candidates and many people dont support them and move on the faster shit will get fixed. No more - ‘they’re more electable!’ ‘X wont win’ ‘harm reduction’ no one cares.

      If your shitty candidate is more electable than mine then you dont need my vote. if they’re not, then your candidate better have something i support and not things you imagine i should support. heads up libs gavin/peter/etc are not on my 2028 card.

          That’s what primaries are for. If you elected a bad Democrat, that’s your fault.

          Man I have a super powerful vote! lol. No primaries are to try to influence the result in the general. The general election is something I’m more than willing to sit out on if the primary decides to put in a shit candidate.

              Ah yes, infantilizing someone who didnt vote for your preferred candidate. but no it wasnt. I stopped voting for dem presidents back in 1992 with a small hiccup in 2008 when it looked like we might get universal healthcare at a minimum.

        Well, if you’re not gonna express your political opinions in any relevant way, kinda sounds like we shouldn’t listen to ya at all.

          what are you on about lol. this thread has never been about me. Its literally been about people not listening to what voters want from the get go and demanding votes for nothing.

              yes and? dunces keep making it about me. so I’m making it very clear on where i stand regardless. but the generality of the conversation has nothing to do with me. learn to separate issues. the fact they can’t separate my personal views from why not voting isnt the same as consent isnt my problem.

        If enough people don’t believe in either party, real revolution becomes a possibility.

        And most of us won’t live through that.

          1. Stop voting for shit stain moderate dems entirely general/primary or otherwise.
          2. organize locally for someone / run for office yourself. <— you’re failing here.

          falling for db0’s click bait isnt effective use of your time. unfortunately if your local area failed on 1 & 2 you’re semi stuck for this cycle and do whats in your best interest this cycle. stop looking to others.

            As if wasting your time is doing any sort of electoralism is going to achieve anything. Hint of your “socialist” candidates are going to just do Capitalism again.
