    If you don’t vote in the primaries to choose which dems are on the ballot then the blame really lies on those who, like were already talking about, decided not to vote in the primaries.

    Maybe try harder in ALL elections because the only reason Republicans are in power is because of low voter turnout by democrats in 2024

      I voted in the primaries, but this isn’t true. The winner is decided beforehand and the election is just a formality.

      The last time I voted for a non-establishment candidate who won the popular vote, the DNC ignored the election results and gave the nomination to their preferred candidate instead. That’s why we got Hillary instead of Bernie in 2016.
