Republicans did that decades ago, and now have trump.
The only thing stupider than them doing it, is all the "moderates" saying it's easier to convince millions of people to follow them off the cliff than convince the DNC to start running candidates that Dem voters want to vote for...
The fact that trump has won 50% of his elections and looks to be 2/3 in a few months should make everyone reconsider the quality of candidates we're running against him.
Not getting mad at the people honest about the situation while there's still time to do literally anything to prevent trump.
I'm not sure how it works in the US but join the democratic party and vote for the presidential candidate you want to see. If it doesn't work out and you don't like the democratic candidate but said candidate is still better than the Republican, still vote Democrat.
Yeah. If you think primaries matter, you don't know how it works here...

Their legal defense for interfering with the 2016 primary was literally:
Maybe the primaries system is fucked up, but protest votes in the presidential elections won't change the system for the better either. Neither party wants to introduce a democratic, proportional voting system because both parties would lose power. I don't know how to fix it, i just know that getting Trump elected won't.
Maybe?
It is fucked.
We have no say in who either of the two general candidates are, and they take billions from the same people/industries.
That's not an exaggeration, 2020 Biden spent a billion, and 2024 they're predicting two billion.
We have an illusion of choice and the same people win no matter which party wins the oval office.
Neither will voting Biden, it doesn't solve the problem, just kicks the can down the road and 4 years from now it'll be the same thing. Either with trump again or someone even worse.
Better kick the can down the road than slip and fall and fucking die.
