Vote for the change you want to see.

The Republican party got remade because trumpists showed up and outvoted the party elites. No reason it can’t happen for the Left except for laziness and apathy.

If all the progressives furious about the state of affairs now had shown up for Sanders in 2016, I doubt we’d be in this hellish timeline. Sadly, he needed the young progressive vote to show up.

      But conveniently there are enough of you that being alienated and not wanting to vote for the Dems is enough of you to lose the entire election and it’s all your fault yadda yadda yadda.

      Important enough to cost the election, yet not important enough to influence anything.
