What part of vote for progressives in the goddamn primaries do you fuckin morons fail to grasp?

[–] frisbird@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The part where it would work? The Democrats have already shown that they will do everything to stop it, from ratfucking to procedural malfeasance to standing up sheepdogs to siphon off the vote.

And even if you get a handful of progressives primaried in, you're still looking at a Senate structurally incapable of representing the voters. 70% of the Senate seats are decided by 30% of the US population. That's by design and original intent. It's been that way this whole time. You think voting in a couple more reps with progressive politics is going to make a damn bit of difference?

You're right progressives totally didn't just sweep the primaries all over the country... Fuckin people get what we deserve.
