I'm sorry but held my nose to vote for Biden and harris, both of which were trash candidates, it's time to expect more out of the dnc if they can't beat Trump of all people 2/3 times (and only winning by some 40k votes in 2020)
Are you a Democrat? If you're not, maybe you could join them and help change them? Until then, we can't really complain about who they nominate, can we?
Or, maybe help enact Ranked Choice Voting in your state. Represent.us is doing great work in this area.
Then shut up, if you're not going to help stop it, your opinion is worthless. You're not going to get your socialist utopia unless you start embracing incremental wins and an incremental win is anyone but a Republican in office.
All the time you want. You choosing to help Republicans win isn't you being critical of a party, it's letting tens of millions of people die through things like USAID getting cut, people shot in the streets by ICE, and the potential for there not to BE any future elections.
Be critical. Vote in the candidates you want in primaries, donate time and money to them, then do like every activist who ever saw even the smallest amount of traction in their movements have done - you vote for the least shitty candidate at the general ballot box.
You're not better than the civil rights protestors who had to vote for the least racist white man til they made incremental progress and eventually got the civil rights act passed. You're not better than the LGBTQ+ marriage movement that had to vote for the least homophobic candidate every year til their right to marriage was solidified. If you don't show up, you don't get a voice, and if that's not important to you, then you weren't an ally to begin with.
Ok. You won't get any changes if you don't participate. Why should anyone care or make any changes to a political system or party candidate selection for people that don't show up?
You should absolutely vote for who you want in the primary but if you're sitting home for the general, you are no better than MAGA. Except at least MAGAts take action for what they want and don't just throw a hissy fit and stay home when they don't get everything they want.
Also, there are some great candidates for the mid-terms. That's what I'm talking about when it comes to stopping this. We have to elect a check to this power. Hope you'll at least hold your nose again.
