We need progressive primary challengers, and we need PARTICIPATION in the primaries. Primary voter turnout is like 15% or something equally pathetic last I checked.
That's more because Primary candidates are all pre-selected and don't stand to change the system. Voter apathy is high bevause voter will isn't represented by the dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie.
The super delegate bs with Bernie in 2016 was definitely a ridiculous situation, I don't know what to say about that.
Yup.
Millions of Americans LOVE complaining about our presidential nominees but are nowhere to be found during the primaries. Can't be bothered to be proactive. Can only be bothered to complain after the fact.
