I’ve been advocating for people to vote out centrists in the midterm primaries. We only see ~20% attendance in congressional midterms, even less in primaries. A big push of progressives could really make a difference, and it protects us from accidentally flipping a seat red over a split vote on the left.
We currently have 75 progressives in the House, and just Bernie in the Senate: https://progressives.house.gov/
It’s important to know if you live in one of the 30 partisan primary states. If so, you must register as a Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary. It was a contributing factor in Bernie’s 2016 loss.
