    ‘Primaries and midterms don’t matter’. Lol.

    Get out and vote, people.

      Voting gives us no control with the current party system. We need ranked choice voting, end campaigns and advertising. Only 1 website will have the candidates and their platforms, tax funded only, anyone who wants to run can run and ranked choice voting will make the actual most popular acceptable candidate win.

        Yes, but until we have rcv, we make do with the system we have, flaws and all. Unless you’re suggesting we don’t vote at all because we are unhappy with the system…?

      People have been saying that for years. Why not make voting something we don’t need to get out to do though? I think it’s ridiculous and frankly anti-democratic to only count votes from people that travel to a polling station in the 21st century.

      the democrats literally cancelled their effective primary and selected Biden. Remember Tulsi Gabbard? They won’t let her run cause she’d fucking win, same as Sanders. It’s a one party state, and it’s not subtle

        That’s simply not true, Tulsi Gabbard had the opportunity to submit her name to the primary election after getting enough signatures just like Dean Phillips and Marriane Williamson did.

        She didn’t even do that, the most basic step of trying to become president, I wouldn’t blame the DNC for her not bothering with the basics.

            During a Fox & Friends interview on March 6, 2024, Gabbard was directly asked about serving as Trump’s vice-president. She responded, “I would be honored to serve our country in that way and be in a position to help President Trump…” In March 2024, Gabbard was cited by Trump as one of his potential choices for his vice presidential running mate.

            Seems like you’re the one who isn’t paying attention

            Not only did she not even apply for the Democratic Nomination, she seems more inclined to being Trump’s VP than a possible democratic nominee.

              You think this changes anything or invalidates what I said?
