Only if people don't vote in primaries...

That's the part I never understand, all these fucking accounts saying it's not worth fighting before the general, complete fucking silent during the last primary, and won't dona damn thing before the next one in two years

If shits half as bad as you all say it is:

Go fucking volunteer with your state party and make it better.

Sitting online telling anyone with a D by their name is the same is the shit Republicans and Russians pay people money to do; don't do it for free.

    I’ve been voting in primaries since the year 2000. When will it start to work?

    It's starting to work now. DSA is winning primaries all over the place.

    It took the French hundreds of years and multiple revolutions to overcome their nobility. 25 years is not that long in the wide view of things. Especially when you want to achieve change peacefully, which we should.

    Part of the problem is the DNC rigging past primaries against exactly the sort of change people want. But this time will the DNC pinky swear to run a clean and fair primary?

    This isn't nationals. There's too many races here (every House seat and 33 Senate seats) for them to fight every progressive candidate. That's why you occasionally see them give up and endorse a few progressives here and there.

    Also, most of their work is done in the primaries. They tend to just accept the D candidate once that is done and over with. That's what happened with Mamdmi. Mostly because that's honestly more important than the real election, and also because they kind of have to to keep the ruse up.
