    If you don’t like it, vote in the primary!

    (Unless you live in NH, then you don’t get a primary. Also the DNC reserves all rights to ignore any primary election)

    Either we get rid of the two party system, or it’s gonna be the death of democracy.

    There can’t just be two options picked by private organizations… That’s just the illusion of choice when billionaires and corporations donate to both parties.

      Vote in all primaries. Vote in state and local. Vote on your local dog-catcher.

      The President isn’t the only office that matters, and really it doesn’t even make up a majority of the importance. It’s just easier to get people to focus on it, and ignore all the other just as important elections.

        I get what you’re saying, and I’m very involved locally, have even considered running myself, but then what? We’ve still got immigrants and refugees in concentration camps, still can’t get anyone, especially women or trans youth, access to healthcare, can’t redistribute wealth, can’t give land back to the tribes. I still feel powerless. Now what? Just be content with that?
