. Primaries is where change happens. Vote for the person that aligns with your values, campaign for them, run yourself, etc. Skipping the general or voting for conservatives only backslides us further.
You mean like '16 primary where they were so threatened by an actual progressive that they intentionally and willfully took steps to ensure he could never compete with Hilary? That primary?
they intentionally and willfully took steps to ensure he could never compete with Hilary
I keep hearing this repeated ad nauseum yet I’ve never actually seen someone articulate what those steps were. Bernie was on every single primary ballot. The only steps that needed to be taken by voters was to vote for him rather than Hillary. I voted for Bernie in '16. No one had a single fucking excuse to vote for Hillary over him, yet they did, in droves. It was a failure of voters that she won.

they cut access to the voter database
they screwed with the debate schedule
the NH primary, for example, sanders won 60% of the popular vote, super delegates ignored that
How about the ‘20 primary where he started as the front runner and still lost?
Or do you just wanna relitigate 2016 forever?
