Vote for the change you want to see.
The Republican party got remade because trumpists showed up and outvoted the party elites. No reason it can’t happen for the Left except for laziness and apathy.
If all the progressives furious about the state of affairs now had shown up for Sanders in 2016, I doubt we’d be in this hellish timeline. Sadly, he needed the young progressive vote to show up.
In case you’re unaware, there were tons of them around the nation. There wasn’t one for the president this time, but there were still plenty of primaries that were very influential. Your local officials have more impact on you than the president does.
So even in local elections people are not allowed to vote for a third party?
There technically was, it just not one where other candidates can really compete. The incumbent is pretty much guaranteed to win their primary.
No, for the president there literally wasn’t. The party gets to choose to hold a primary. It isn’t a given. Usually they don’t hold one if the previous president is running again. There were primaries for other positions, but there was not a Democratic primary for the president.
Dude, I literally voted in the primary. What the fuck are you talking about?
