Vote for the change you want to see.

The Republican party got remade because trumpists showed up and outvoted the party elites. No reason it can’t happen for the Left except for laziness and apathy.

If all the progressives furious about the state of affairs now had shown up for Sanders in 2016, I doubt we’d be in this hellish timeline. Sadly, he needed the young progressive vote to show up.

      Probably state by state? I remember when I was complaining about party interference with Bernie, then CO saw which way things were going with Trump, and decided to cancel their primary and award all delegates to his opposition (I don’t remember who was still standing).

      Edit: Nevermind I finally clicked the link after opening my big mouth and saw that the map shows no primaries were cancelled in 2024. I’ll leave this as a warning. People, don’t be like me. Click the link before replying.

        Props to you for taking responsibility for that.

      Oh, yeah. You’re right. I remember that now. It didn’t last long and I don’t know if it ever made it to my state with anyone left.

        By the time my state got it’s turn, Philips had already dropped out and endorsed Biden. Still voted for him in the primary because he was basically the only other option.
