But your candidtaes are voted for in a primary. If you want better candidates they need people like you to organise and put in the work to get them on the ballot in the first place.
This election cycle there was no "getting your candidate on the ballot" though. No for president anyway.
That’s what I’m saying! We need people to care more about the quality of our candidates. But the DNC kicks out anyone who is “scary socialist”. Do I think they can’t change? No. And I’m not even a non-voter btw. I’m just saying, to get through to these people, blaming them for the outcome isn’t going to get them to vote blue.
Will asspatting them for the outcome get them to vote blue?
The broader issue is to establish purity politics as morally and socially unacceptable rather than "Just politics :)" that you look over to invite people to the barbeque in spite of.
"I acted in favor of your murder!" shouldn't be acceptable just because the person who did it claims to wear a coat of red paint.
