    They choose not to because they think other people won’t and those other people don’t because they think that you won’t. It’s a big feedback loop.

    From my perspective, the Dems are a shit party that’s more than happy to work with Republicans to destroy the country and its people, yet people still argue that they’re the “good guys” and that they deserve to win elections despite a Mt. Everest size pile of evidence to the contrary.

    Furthermore they keep throwing elections in order to get Republicans elected so what the fuck is your vote even good for if you’re just voting for a losing (D) candidate? You might as well take the risk and vote 3rd party in this situation because even if you lose it’s still not going to change the outcome.

    You say that primary votes are important, yet the DNC is more than happy to crush a popular candidate like Bernie if it’s not their chosen candidate. They put their thumb on the scale to sway the nomination toward the person they want. In 2024, we didn’t even get a primary because Biden went back on his word of only running one term and then dropped out to give us Harris. Again, what was your vote even good for here? Nothing.

    All of you guys want to fix things yet staunchly refuse to try anything different while expecting things to get better by repeating the same failed strategy. They won’t. How many more elections will it take for people to realize that?
