minus-squareAsafum@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·28 days agoThis right here. It pisses me off to no end how many people skip the primaries and then bitch about the candidate…
minus-squareforrgott@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·28 days agoIt does upset me that our voting system is so obtuse; but not as much as it upsets me that people are so willfully ignorant.
minus-squaredisguy_ovahea@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·28 days agoAgreed. We should be voting twice every two years, not once every four, for national elections alone.
minus-squareBaron Von J@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·28 days agoA lot of posters here are actively hostile to the suggestion that better turnout in the Democratic primaries will lead to better candidates.
minus-squareOptional@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·28 days agoA lot of posters here are specifically ignorant of what national politics entails. They’ve got a lot of idealism and cynicism but not a lot of experience. Which is always the case. Boring reality is the opposite of clickbait.
