    “Vote in the primaries!”

    “I do but the party actively undermines democracy during those. Repeatedly, openly, and unashamedly.”

    “Yeah well they’re allowed to just choose whoever they want anyway so you have to vote for the neoliberal in the general.”

        You can vote but not be critical of any candidate

        before or after the election or ever.

        Offer void for anyone left of party leadership. Even bigoted attacks were perfectly fine against Mamdani. But say that Harris shouldn’t have supported genocide and centrists will insist that you personally coronated trump.

        Seriously, so fucking infuriating. How am I supposed to not be critical of the people who handed Donald Trump the presidency twice? And the first time they literally directed media outlets to prop him up in the Republican primary.

        Right, I’m the problem with my one vote in a state that’s gonna give their electors to the Democrat no matter what I do (but I vote for the shitty neoliberal in the general anyway). Not the elite class who gave our country to the fascists because that’s what their donors wanted.
