    The best way to have a Dem win the general, is a healthy primary.

    If it’s not then the only way shitty Dems get out of office, is giving the seat to a Republican.

    The myth that primaries hurt in the general is a lie spread by neoliberals. It’s bad for them because if you compare a neoliberl to literally anyone that’s not a Republican, they look like a turd sandwich.

        Screw blue. If everyone votes blue, no matter who, we still live in a fascist, capitalist country going down the drain because politicians would rather cash checks from their corporate masters than do what’s right. We need actual reform.

        Since it has to rhyme, vote progressive, not regressive?

          You say that because you’re a rational person. The people he was replying to. Thought it was more important that Biden/Harris lose than trump. They ridiculed those calling for solidarity against trump. Screeching blue maga. Because they didn’t care if trump won.

            No I misinterpreted this section of the comment as a call to action rather than pointing out the obvious.

            If it’s not then the only way shitty Dems get out of office, is giving the seat to a Republican.

        Both. Vote your heart in the primary, head in the general. Whatever BS they put out is going to be better than the alternative, but if everyone shows up to primaries it might be actually decent.

            Yeah. It got worse slower than the alternative, which is my point. If you’re losing primaries, you don’t have much of an active base. Primaries validate active bases.

        Too late for that now, isn’t it? But vote red to end all wars and all genocide. That’ll show Joe Biden.
