Don’t just vote Democrat, vote in the primaries.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

vote in the primaries.

When the party runs primaries at all, they interfere with them every chance they get. Saying "jUsT vOtE iN tHe PrImArIeS" without acknowledging this paints the results of the party's corruption as the will of the people.

Yup, drag the fuckin party left.

Ya that's a problem I have in my neck of the words. Everyone complains about who is on the General Election ticket and they just shrug their shoulders about voting in the Primary.

"You mean I have to vote, and then vote again? Ugh, I wasnt even planning to show up to the actual vote. Meh...it'll all work out fine."

If voting day was a holiday it would less of a problem

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

If voting day was a holiday, only people who get federal holidays off would get the day off. But it would be a great excuse to get rid of early voting.

I have worked for companies that would rather pay out unemployment due to wrongful termination than give time off for voting.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world -1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If they don't want you voting isn't that a clue?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

That's not going to un-fire them.

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

Or it won't and I'll complain online which is even better than voting, right?

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly. This times a million. We don't vote in primaries and then get all surprised that the Democratic candidates resemble the folks who voted in the primaries.

[–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

Imo if you don't vote in the primaries, you've forfeited your right to bitch about the candidates on the general ticket

That would be a nice idea, but what do you do when incumbents run unopposed in the primary

[–] llamapocalypse@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I figured that bit was obvious, I was speaking more towards the Dem leadership's hypocrisy. Again, absolutely not saying "don't vote both sides reeeeee"

[–] sik0fewl@piefed.ca 2 points 10 hours ago

I was complementing, not contradicting πŸ™‚. I agree.
