    The more progressive people that we can push through the chain

    Never going to happen. Establishment Democrats will sabotage their efforts because there is literally zero repercussions for doing so. They fuck us over and then people like you insist we have to vote for them anyway.

    No.

      My district recently flipped blue, that was due to people voting and pushing for better people.

      Without voting all we do is secure sliding further and further down.

      Change doesn’t happen overnight and there’s no such thing as a perfect candidate.

      And if you’re not happy with the candidates that are running in your local area, try to get involved and get yourself on the ballot. You might just start yourself a political career.

      Remember Hanlon’s Razor: Don’t suspect malice when incompetence can explain it.

      And not the incompetence of the DNC. They’re just responding to the environment. The American people don’t want progressive ideas. A third of them want shinier, more inclusive Office Space, another third want segregation and mass deportation, and the final third don’t vote for a bunch of reasons but mostly because the only options are those two.
