    It doesn’t when every election bozos like you try to dissuade more people from voting.

    Not true. We always try to get you to vote for someone who isn’t trash in the Democratic primaries.

    But then you go and vote for trash in the Democratic primaries.

    Do you plan on voting for trash in future Democratic primaries?

      Completely ignorant.

      If not voting was a candidate it’d win every election. That’s the problem. That’s why they hand the candidacy to Clinton, that’s why they can assert Kamala and not worry

      Not like people are gonna vote anyway, they’re penny pinching for votes. The decent politicians cannot afford to campaign on the same scale and the fact nobody comes out to vote means pound for pound, spending money on elections isn’t entirely worth it

      Go vote. That’s the solution. Tell other people to vote. Believing a system that people aren’t buying into doesn’t work is a misunderstanding of the system.

        I do tell people to vote. In the primaries.

        But when the Democratic primaries produce a trash candidate I don’t bother to tell people to vote in the general election.
