    First you just make shit up.

    Have you never heard of a hypothetical before?

    Then you have the gall to say this. It literally wasn’t.

    I think you need to read this:

    https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/02/clinton-brazile-hacks-2016-215774/

    But this demonization of establishment Dems only serves the Nazis.

    Look at my profile, I spend a good amount of time stumping for the modern DNC.

    My problem is with neoliberals, because they are what got us into this mess.

    Literally, just vote blue

    No

    No one’s vote is obligated in the general.

    Blindly voting for anyone with a D by their name hasn’t worked out nationally.

    On a national scale we need to encourage everyone to vote in the presidential primary, because it’s actually going to be fair this time.

    If turnout is high. We’ll get someone who breezes thru the general. No one will have to say “blue no matter who” because it’ll be who the voters already want

    If turnout is low, some asshat like Newsom might get it, and we’re fucked if it’s him and a Republican in the general.

      What is it, 34% of the country that didn’t vote? If we had gotten everyone to vote, it would have been a blowout.

        If you give voters something they want instead of a douche or a turd sandwich…

        More people are going to vote.

        That’s literally the whole point of what I’m saying.

        Give voters a fair primary and enjoy the easy win in the general.

          I agree. There’s a hell of a lot of room for more progressive candidates, and I think they can give people things to be excited about instead of being milquetoast.

          My point is

          If you tell people not to vote, fewer people will vote.
