      It’s every American’s duty and responsibility to be civically engaged and informed. The onus is always on the voter. It mostly just speaks to how goddamn stupid and/or disengaged the average American is that they still don’t understand how the system functions at a basic level. And how they can be all reliable to refusing to act in their best interests. Y’all think everything comes down to a giant douche and a turd sandwich so you take the turd sandwich because you can’t tell the difference between literally eating shit and a weird shaped water tank.

        Sure, if you’re in a lecturin’ mood. Here in the reality where that attitude lost you two elections to donald trump, the party needs to appeal to the voters.

          This mindset is why Americans deserve what we’re getting. Congratulations buddy. You’re part of the problem.

            If you want to make voting into a health food you eat because your mommy forces you to and says it’s good for you instead of a way for people to improve their lives, don’t get mad when turnout is dogshit.

              Yes you are the American that deserves what we’re getting because you’re apparently too fucking stupid to act in your best interests.

                    You’re really playing the centrist thought-terminating cliche greatest hits album, huh?

                    We would have won if we had primaries. When you remove all the candidates but one via lawfare, that’s not a primary. It’s a hideous mockery of democracy.
