What does any of this have to do with the Democrats being the correct choice in 2024 and being the correct choice in the next two elections if we have them?
There are still people advocating for not voting after it is now clear that was the wrong choice.
If that's not you then you shouldn't have a problem with this.
Then voting wont be an option.
We've had real primaries since 2008.
The fact is, Democrats refuse to learn from their mistakes. Y'all Liberals refuse to learn anything from your own voters. Ever.
The fact is, your party is responsible for making Austerity politics (and mislabeling it as "abundance" with Ezra Klein) bipartisan for more than 30 years.
This strategy is how we got Trump. I don't blame Romney for Trump - I blame Clinton ratcheting to the Right.
When Bernie can win States' popular vote and lose it because of Party-appointed "super delegates" in 2016? That's not fucking Democracy.
When the entire party rallied behind Biden so thoroughly that half the country didn't even get to vote in the Primary before Biden was the presumptive Nominee in 2020? That's not Democracy, and Bernie was arguably a Coward for not calling you on it. But... Voting out the fascist was priority. And Biden promised to be a 1-term president.
2024 - that 1-term promise? SIKE!!! Until his failing mental condition lagged out so hard that his VP took over, no voting allowed.
Fuck you. Sincerely, and deeply. You deserve Trump as much as anyone in his Simp cult. Blue Maga gave us Red Maga.

Bernie lost the popular vote.
A promise he should have followed through on every step of the way.
The neoliberal you're shadow boxing lives in your head. edit: typo
And yet he was the most popular politician in the country at the time. Fascinating how we can ignore the political machine of Billionaire-owned Media Empires and their pocket-politicians.
If the Democrats want my vote from here on out? They have to EARN it. You've convinced me. This sense of entitlement to MY vote is entirely uncalled for, especially as their strategy includes funding the worst Republicans possible in the Primaries:

...and then crying when it backfires.
I shall now default to non-voting. I will only vote for people who offer actual material policy gains like Zohran Mamdani does, Democrat or otherwise.
Any Democrat who fails to do this? Will either win without me or fail without me. Either way, I lose nothing. You have convinced me.
Stop pretending you care about the Palestinians and working class people then.
You don't. You care about you. The least you can do is own it so people who do know not to imitate you.
