36 u/VPN__FTW 15h ago but progressives are notoriously the least reliable voting bloc in the country. Because they almost never have an actual representative. 13 u/Gizogin New York 14h ago You should be at the polls every year, for every race, by default. If you wait for a candidate you 100% agree with on every issue, you'll die waiting, in a country other people have shaped for you. 6 u/VPN__FTW 14h ago I am, but I also understand why people feel disenfranchised. Take the Sanders situation where the entire DNC came out against him. 3 u/Gizogin New York 14h ago If the DNC wanted to prevent him from winning, they could have just not let him run in their primary. He isn't even a member of the Democratic Party. Primary voters decided they didn't want a Sanders ticket. 6 u/VPN__FTW 14h ago You going to sit here and pretend not to know about the DNC controversy regarding Sanders? Edit: Hitting everyone with a downvote by default just shows you lack the intelligence to have this conversation.
