Unless the candidate is a progressive, then the establishment Dems won't endorse them (unless the progressive wins, then suddenly they totally supported the progressive all along)
(no, I'm not saying don't vote, just frustrated by the fucking hypocrisy)
Donβt just vote Democrat, vote in the primaries.
Ya that's a problem I have in my neck of the words. Everyone complains about who is on the General Election ticket and they just shrug their shoulders about voting in the Primary.
"You mean I have to vote, and then vote again? Ugh, I wasnt even planning to show up to the actual vote. Meh...it'll all work out fine."
If voting day was a holiday it would less of a problem
I have worked for companies that would rather pay out unemployment due to wrongful termination than give time off for voting.
If they don't want you voting isn't that a clue?
That's not going to un-fire them.
or just have longer and more convenient early voting? In Norway you can vote for at least a month at local public institutions
If voting day was a holiday, only people who get federal holidays off would get the day off. But it would be a great excuse to get rid of early voting.
Easy fix (that almost every other country uses): vote on Sunday.
Good thing no one has to work on Sundays. Easter Sunday is a federal holiday and there's plenty of people who still have to work.
If voting day becomes a federal holiday, states that don't like the idea of poor people voting will do away with early voting.
There will always be exceptions to anything.
Or it won't and I'll complain online which is even better than voting, right?
Yup, drag the fuckin party left.
Exactly. This times a million. We don't vote in primaries and then get all surprised that the Democratic candidates resemble the folks who voted in the primaries.
Imo if you don't vote in the primaries, you've forfeited your right to bitch about the candidates on the general ticket
Are we acting again like the DNC cares about people voting in primaries?
When the party runs primaries at all, they interfere with them every chance they get. Saying "jUsT vOtE iN tHe PrImArIeS" without acknowledging this paints the results of the party's corruption as the will of the people.
That would be a nice idea, but what do you do when incumbents run unopposed in the primary
Run against them.
(In theory. I wouldn't do that either.)
I figured that bit was obvious, I was speaking more towards the Dem leadership's hypocrisy. Again, absolutely not saying "don't vote both sides reeeeee"
I was complementing, not contradicting π. I agree.
Yeah didnβt the Democratic Party take credit for some shit Mamdani got done? Seemed pretty shitty since they tried to stop him from getting elected.
They sure tried.
*cough*
Mamdani
*cough*
Platner
*coughcough*
those were two of the big ones I had in mind, yeah
Make sure you're pressuring the establishment Democrats in your jurisdiction and the people making campaign contributions.
