    We can change the Dems and push them towards actually being good by just uncritically voting for them every election I see no flaw in this plan.

      Not to mention showing up for the primaries too.

      It fucking mystifies me that people will condemn the dems for never voting for progressives in primaries, and then just never turn out to the primaries themselves.

      Primary turnout is consistently pathetic and an abject condemnation of the wannabe revolutionaries who speak with fire then act with all the likewise energy of cosmic background radiation.

        Let me check who I could’ve voted for Dem presidential candidate this year in the primaries. Here’s the list:

        Oh I should’ve voted in 2020? I could’ve chose between:

        1. Biden (no)
        2. Bernie “Israel has every right to defend itself” Sanders
        3. Bloomberg (lmao)

          “Bernie Sanders isn’t pure enough for me” Jesus fucking Christ.

          Like, how left do you think the electorate in this country is, exactly?
