How many primaries have you voted in? Do you engage in local politics and primaries to support progressives early in their careers to steer the party left, or do you show up every 4 years when CNN is talking about your state’s primary?
If you do the former - great! Encourage others to do so, and understand that it takes time to change a party’s direction. And in the meantime, support that party in the general elections because they’re still better than the alternative.
If you want them to win, you should encourage them to caucus with and run as a member of a party that can win.
Any effort put into 3rd parties is a waste of resources because they can’t ever win in our system of government. You can wish for things to be different, but wishing doesn’t accomplish anything.
stop bitciing about others discontent
They made their own bed. I don’t want to hear a word out of them that isn’t working towards a realistic, attainable solution.
Voting in the general election against the worst party and voting in the primaries to make the other party better is a solution.
Choosing not to participate and then whining that those who do participate are making all the decisions is not.
