Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

I'm saying that if your politics start with blaming the voters and not talking about the fucked up bullshit systems we're navigating that stops more AOCs and Ilhan's from getting elected we're going to waste a lot of energy fighting each other when we probably agree on a lot of policy stuff
Quit punching down at the people and start punching up at systems, how we campaign matters and "are you ready to stop being a bunch of fuck ups" is a lot less appealing than "are you ready to stop getting fucked over"
e; Also, yes, progressive socialists are going to run in primaries. For example, Kat Abughazaleh -

Kat's great, I'd be stumping for her if I lived there. Unfortunately I'm in Texas and gerrymandered to hell. Close to a major metro area though, so there's hope I'll have an option to vote for in the primaries. But I'll still put my ballot in either way.
Por que no los dos
I can blame people who don't vote for the act of not voting. They're choosing to remove themselves from the conversation and then complaining they don't have a voice. If you don't like any of the candidates then leave those races blank on the ballot, but still turn in a ballot. That puts you on record as an actual voter. Once that happens, campaign managers will work to find out how to win your vote. Campaign managers don't give a crap about the opinions of non-voters.
100% our electoral system is garbage. But we have to recognize that it will march on forward without us if we don't participate, and removing ourselves from the conversation will not get anyone in any position to changes things to even try.
Right. I didn't say "fuck you, non-voter, for not voting!", that's just how you responded to me asking rhetorically if people are going to come out and vote. Indeed, the way to punch up at an electoral system that wants us to stay home is to show up and vote in spite of it.
Except at the beginning of your comment,
Please do that while voicing support for Republicans because that shit is a) electoral poison and b) deeply fucking offensive given everything the average American has been subjected to by our dogshit leaders in the last 2 decades
I do acknowledge the apparent contradiction. However, I was referring to my original post to which you had replied.
Not really sure what you're saying here. I don't think I've ever voiced support for the Republicans. I'm not even voicing support for the Democratic party. I'm just saying to vote for better candidates in the primaries.
I'm saying that your insistence on attacking voters is going to be a drag on whoever you're associated with so I think you should start telling people you support Republicans because I want them to lose
Ah. I'm not attacking voters. I'm talking about people who are eligible to vote and simply choosing not to. I want them to vote instead of not vote. Then they will be voters instead of non-voters and I won't have anything to complain about them for.
edit: PS - I also want the fascists to lose.
Upvoted for the PS, in that we are in 100% agreement
