    Most people that say both side AND still vote, almost never vote in primaries. Many don’t even know what they are.

      That’s a valid point too. Most of the people who have given me “both parties suck” as a reason for not voting are not exactly the type of people who care to educate themselves on politics. I used to try to teach them but, I quickly learned they don’t want to know. They just want to complain and do nothing unfortunately.

      Do Democrats run fair primaries?

      Do they purposely fund the FASCIST’S campaigns against progressives and leftists in order to scare people into the “more electable candidate to help our slim margin”?

      All the DNC bots and shills come out and scream “if you vote for what you want, it’s a vote for TRUMP”

      Do they sabotage primaries when actual leftists are on the ballot? what happened with Bernie again? TWICE?

      When Kamala was put in as the candidate, did we get primaries? (I will give you hers was a bit of weird situation)

      Biden basically skipped a primary for his runs against Trump.

      Republicans skipped their primary for Trump.

      We have a duopoly

      Are you SURE that we get fair primaries?
