That argument works for literally every other election except 2024 because Bidens pride got in the way and they shuffled the human equivalent of a spare tire forward.
But I don’t hold it against those who don’t. They correctly see the two party system as completely uninterested in representing them and delivering any material benefit to voters.
It’s up to Democrats to earn votes. They aren’t owed votes. And if they keep fucking around in primaries (if they even have primaries — cf. Kamala), then they can expect third party candidates.
good. I’m not disagreeing with you. fuck the Dems, but pressuring them by favoring progressives in primaries (not only for presidential candidates) is the best change we got to get out of this mess.
How do you know that? To this point, they have only run the winner of the primary in the general election. In 2024, they ran the winner of the primary, but when he dropped out, they ran his running mate instead. What did you expect them to do?
If you want change to happen, you need to convince the voters. They control who the Democratic Party runs.
Field better candidate next time instead of a genocide accomplice.
vote in the primaries instead of complaining that the candidates suck.
you’re only allowed to complain that they suck if you didn’t vote for them in the primaries

don’t care about the past. I’m talking now, go vote in the primaries
August is a long way off for some of us. Some states don’t hold them until September. There’s a lot of campaigning to witness in the meantime.
Better early than late.
Dude I’m in SoCal we have other problems with our primaries. Here’s hoping that dipshit sheriff gets chucked in a cell and is removed from the ballot.
I’m just telling people to participate in them. you’re good if involved in that
Yes, and literally nobody voted for kamala in the Primaries. And yet she was the candidate.
Ah yes. The democratic party enthusiastically supported the progressive candidate for mayor in New York.
Right?
Didn’t try to run an “independent” splitter candidate to torpedo their own candidate.
Right?
Didn’t run Andrew “Sex Crimes” Cuomo against the actual democratic nominee?
Right?
I mean he won the primary, was the democratic candidate and then won the election.
It’s proof that the other comment or was exactly right, you need to go out and vote in the primaries for good candidates.
🙄
you’re not wrong, but you can’t not participate and then complain about the candidates.
you hate AIPAC? your vote really matters in the primaries.
this is the only way we can get rid of AIPAC’s influence
Strawman. I vote in every election.

and again, fuck them for being fascist lite,
The democrats havent held free or fair primaries since Obama won them.
not talking presidential, in talking all primaries, from local levels, participate now or don’t complain afterwards
Lol. Local progressives won two seats on city council. Instead of working with them (very blue city), the city council stonewalled them.
Then dumped millions of dollars into city council races. Didn’t matter how many doors they knocked after that.
it’s working then, keep doing it. purge all those cunts out. until soon, it’ll be the progressives stonewalling corporate bought goons.
Do the Democrats not control the rest of Democratic primaries too?
not sure if they will still pull their superdelegate bullshit on the presidential ballot, but for all other position? they do run them.
And even small positions are important, from local to federal level, no one who accepts AIPAC should be a candidate.
Did you miss the part where in the next election cycle they dumped millions into conservative dems and won the elections back
so?
those millions are useless if leftists vote in the primaries.
You mean, if they voted against them in the primaries?
“we can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way” type vibe.
There was only one way and it was fronting good candidate like Bernie or AoC.
The DNC will do everything in its power to ensure change can never happen from the voters.

You definitely got Genocide voting for Kamala. That’s for sure.
