    By voting in primaries AND supporting good candidates down stream, but FIRST we must vote to ensure we will be able to do this. If the young people don’t vote and fuck up their future, it’s their future in the toilet.

      By voting in primaries

      You’re making an assumption here that if progressives and leftists managed to get decent candidates through the primaries the moderates and liberals who we will still depend on to win general elections will show up to vote for them. That confidence is absolutely baseless.

      The DNC has literally argued, successfully, in court, that is has every right to rig its own primaries.

      Voting in primaries is pointless unless that changes.
