      You can primary whoever you want. Go for it. Progressive policies are always popular with the youth, but those fuckers don’t vote.

      Mandami kinda gives me hope, but I’m not going to hold my breath. If you can’t get the votes with progressive policies, don’t be surprised you end up with Pelosi, Clintons, etc. That’s politics. Or you can pretend your way is the only way and do whatever you want. Not like there haven’t been progressive candidates. They just don’t get votes.

      Carter tried to treat the US like adults and run progressive policies, and we decided to boot him and go with Trump lite.

      When someone is offering you fascism, you go with the non-fascist every time. Or not, I guess.
