    You not voting is why the Democrats run shitty candidates. Protest voting does nothing. Primaries have around 10% turn out on average. Not voting is literally the fucking problem.

      Not voting doesn’t make their candidates shitty candidates win, Democrats lose when turnout is depressed.

      They know this, and they still chose to deliberately depress turnout with another shitty candidate who promised us nothing would change. Their last successful candidate won two terms on promises of hope and change and only 12 years later they’re promising the opposite and delivering nothingburgers.
