Texas aside, it’s definitely a selfish lack of voting.
Texas isn’t the only state with abysmal election practices.
There’s no way in the world outcomes wouldn’t be different if at least 80% of them turned out to first primaries then the actual elections.
I think Democratic turnout has to be predicated by a certain understanding that you’ll get at least some of what you asked for by participating.
If you’re in a 60/40 district where people kick sand in your eyes when you lose, and you always lose, then there’s very little incentive to show up.
And, when you look at all the people who were turning out in the 80s/90s for third parties and independent candidates, only to get blamed and screamed at and shat on for participating outside the two party system? I can’t say I’m shocked to see them give up on the public sector and focus exclusively on private accumulation as a political remedy.
Sorry but I’m tired of their shit
And they’re tired of yours.
“Things would be better if you voted harder!” is a promise that is consistently broken.
At some point, it’s your duty to deliver if you want someone to keep turning out for you.
They’ve been electing lunatics and not turning out for years. This is not due to prevention of voting or bad election practices. It’s because they, particularly the progressives, don’t turn out to vote.
I think Democratic turnout
Isn’t the expectation of getting what you want in a candidate and by extension what you ask for, the purpose of a primary? That’s without a presidential candidate like Trump, where the priority becomes keeping them away from the reins of power.
They get what they vote for, and their participation earns. Shit candidates, who aren’t working for them.
And, when you look at people…
That’s just another summary of selfishness for mine.
And they’re tired of yours
Yes, they don’t react to the mirror at all well. They look for excuses everywhere. Sounds like you are now as well.
At some point it your duty to deliver
Correct, and we see that in action with Mamdani in New York, who was put there by a decent turnout and being the right candidate. Proving both works if they do it.

They don’t. If they did, they’d have universal health care instead of another war in the middle east.
Yeah nah they get what they vote for. In terms of turnout and result, their leaders represent them and reflect their vote.
In order to get what you’re saying, they’d want 80- 90% turnout in primaries and elections and they are too lazy and selfish for that.
