nah fuck that. don’t vote against your own self interests. if you’re in a solid blue state (like the one where schumer is senator of), then vote for the actual left leaning person.
So then when do we defeat the democrats that want to increase funding for ICE, raise more money for Israel, start more regime change wars, increase funding for a border wall, and deport more immigrants?
In the 2016 WV Dem primary, Bernie won every single county, but Clinton won the state. Should they have voted harder? Are you asking people to comitt voter fraud and vote 110%?
Bernie won 18 delegates and got 2 superdelegates (20 total). Clinton won 11 delegates and got 6 superdelegates (17 total). Bernie won WV.
If you argue that superdelegates are unfair, I agree. There was enough pushback against them that, in 2018, the DNC changed the rules so that superdelegates can’t vote on the first ballot anymore.
This is really getting into the weeds, and there are many other ways that the Democrats are not ideal, but none of it changes the fact that allowing Republicans to obtain power is the worst case scenario. We’re seeing how that plays out right now.
Even if more progressive candidates don’t win the primaries in those seats, yes, still vote for the Democrats.
