ARE YOU LISTENING AMERICANS

there is a #primary coming up near you for many of us, where you can advance left #candidates to the general #election over spineless centrist milquetoast #DNC shit

but the #primaries historically experience dismal turnout

SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO

find out what day it is. find out what you have to do

then. fucking. do. it.

YOU'RE GOING TO SHOW THE FUCK UP AND YOU'RE GOING TO FUCKING #VOTE

or shut the fuck up

if you don't walk the walk, don't talk the talk

@benroyce we must have had really early primaries. I voted in mine in February.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@RegGuy

that's part of the problem with the usa

it's so goddamn fucking complicated

they do that on purpose

[regguy@mstdn.social]

@benroyce Yeah, and turnout was, well, minimal as expected. About 1.2 M people voted, where 5.5M voted in the 2024 presidential election. But Democrats outnumbered Republicans by a significant amount.

@benroyce If they simply got out and voted as far left as possible in EVERY election, not just the primaries, the world would change.

But getting butt hurt over not liking the result of the primary and then staying home in the general is exactly what got us where we are today.

if AOC runs for president I will happily vote for her in the primary..

But if she doesn't win, I'm still voting for the furthest left candidate on the ballot, even if it's Hillary Clinton again.

Because sometimes the lesser of two evils is quite a lot less fucking evil.

@benroyce
Obviously, I'm voting, but don't always agree that far left candidates are superior. I judge each on his/her own merits, to the extent possible.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@Harrybear I have no problem with anyone who votes since the pressing problem is abysmal turnout

@benroyce Folks can use Blue Voter Guide to check endorsements for many primary races (and other elections too). We don't have enough volunteers to enter every single race -- but there's a lot of elections available. Just enter your address. We don't save it. #USPol

Just a moment...
