Hey guys, you know you can make more than two options, right? I feel like the real democrats who actually work for the betterment of the country, not themselves, would have a fighting chance by banding together and separating themselves from the rest of the democratic leeches.
Careful. The Blue No Matter Who people will call you a party traitor.
The people who liked this
That really was a ridiculous slogan.
Does this third option have enough money to win?
Isn't it disgusting how this is even a question?
Why people are still voting for who have the most money?
THIS DOES NOT FUCKING WORK IN OUR SYSTEM
FFS It's like people enjoy getting their ass handed to them by Republicans.
Besides primaires exist, fucking organize and primary all corporate Democrats with true progressives and you'll have the same result with actually a chance to win.
Basically the Tea Party movement, but not for child rapists.
Then try to change the goddamn system. You are right now basically choosing between slow destruction (democrats) or fast destruction (republicans).
The primary system is also dumb and unfair. A certain state deciding which candidates have to drop and which have to stay is undemocratic
