    Specifically not a primary for president. The statement that primaries are the place to make the party change are false and i consider it maliciously so.

      President is just one primary of thousands all across the country. All the fascist laws being passed in red states? That’s being done by Republicans at the state level and the president can’t do can’t do anything about it.

        Then you won’t mind if people protest vote during the presidential election.

          I don’t mind if people protest vote during primary elections - that’s what they’re for. Protest voting in a two party system is shooting yourself in the foot unless you like the other guy running.

            This feels a lot like giving your little brother a disconnected controller so he stops bothering you.

              Republicans love that you think like that. They make sure to vote in every election.

              If enough people actually protest vote in a primary, it will affect who is in the election.

                That has not happened once in the 24 years I’ve been voting. In literally every election, even odd years.

                  …Because not nearly enough people get out and vote, especially in primaries.

                    Like I said: It’s like handing your kid brother a controller that doesn’t work. I keep pressing the button but nothing happens.
