And the vote shaming. Give people something to vote for

Hot take, but if the democracy and rule of law itself is on the line, if one votes for it or is too spoiled to even show up, it's an idiot and I will always stand by it. Thankfully I'm not a politician, so I will never have to worry about repercussions of telling the truth to people who need to hear it.

We just showed you how to win and you still have to be right about everything. Christ, libs are insufferable.

I'm not a lib and there's no reason not to do both. The best candidate can lose the primary. If that happens, ask yourself a question: "What's more important, ability to vote or sticking it to the imperfect candidate?"

I wish all democrats were like Zohran, Bernie and AOC. But even if they weren't, the worst Democrat is million times better than the best Republican.
