Hm… it’s almost like if you want change, you need to vote. Sitting out or spoiling your vote doesn’t do much more than literally nothing.

I’ll never get over these type of comments in political communities…

It’s like going to a baseball game in person and complaining that broadcast viewership numbers are down…

We’re not the “casual market” absolutely no one who needs to be told that is here or will ever see those comments.

But we’re the ones voting in primaries, we’re supposed to be picking the candidate most likely to represent the will of the Dem voter base… We’re more GMs than hardcore fans.

As a whole, the politically active members of the Dem party who vote in primaries have not been making good enough selections to convince the “casuals” to vote in the general.

Shitting on absentee people who can’t defend themselves may feel good, but why wouldn’t we use these spaces to talk about what works?

Which in this case is increasing Dem primary turnout as much as possible to ensure candidates like Mamdani keep making it to the general…
