minus-squareUnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down2·3 days agoI’ve got a bunch of people I know who told me “I voted for Trump during the primary in order to sabotage the Republicans”. When I asked why they didn’t just back a stronger Democrat, most thought Dems already had their person picked out so their primary vote didn’t matter. Kind of horrifying that this is the state of the “pro-Democracy” party’s internal selection process.
