The big critic I see from "we shouldn't vote" is that there will be opposition...
Guess what? Other forms of organizing and protest will also be opposed. And we should still do them.
If a movement is real and serious that organizing to vote in primaries is really not a big deal. Blue no matter who is really just a last resort and if you don’t want to then you should at least spoil your ballot.
PS anything you consider more effective than voting can still be done btw. Change is not an all or nothing (tho given the mindset around many here they should not be surprised when they really do keep getting nothing)

No no no, you got it all wrong. I have been educated today by people much smarter than me that you make the biggest difference by not voting. A vague revolution will then be organized at some point, and an utopia follows. This is clearly easier than taking over the Democratic party on grassroots level.

He tried to disregard the results after he lost, but the other members of the junta didn’t let him.
