    The dems are doing a great job of convincing people not to vote. There’s really no better method than constantly nominating garbage candidates.

      There’s really no better method than constantly nominating garbage candidates.

      I said, and I quote:

      No, no, you see, if we just convince enough people NOT to vote in the primaries, the whole system will collapse!

      What the ever-loving fuck do you think a primary is

        I’ve learned that an unsettling amount of people on Lemmy don’t know what a primary is and this really explains why primaries only have a 10% turn out most of the time.

          The worst part is that people on Lemmy are more politically engaged than your average eligible voter. This is literally the top half of the population, in terms of political engagement and education.

          God help us.
