We need to get involved at the primary level, not lament the choices we are left with when primary election turnout is hilariously low. I'd be surprised if the average voter even knows what a primary election is.

I can’t stand this faux leftist bullshit. There’s a reason why I call this right wing nonsense: it impedes the improvement of people’s material lives. We don’t have to like the Democrats in order to reject this absolute nonsense.

The Democrats used to be the racist pro slavery party. Then it got captured and turned into Roosevelts New Deal Democrats, which were obviously to the left of the Republicans. Not perfect, but they really did a lot of good.

This can be repeated, but it takes a lot of work.

Oh, I can't wait until you all find out what the OG Democratic party liked. IMO there's a reason Bernie doesn't put a (D) after his name

You also cannot replace it with a third party. So I guess we’re just fucked?

It's almost like the original assertion is bullshit!

The real battle is in the primaries.
