Uhh isn't this exactly what we need before the primaries?
Everytime someone would point out how shitty some of these Dem candidates are we are told "save it for the primaries". Well here we are.
I'm always taking the side of harm reduction, but that's pretty much reserved for when you're in the voting booth and there's nothing else to be done. I'm some rando from overseas, but this applies everywhere in the world where you can still vote.
Before elections is the time to take action so you don't end up having to choose between evils
Absolutely primary these guys, but remember that most incumbents will win their primaries.
Well, centrist incumbents will, since the party protects them.
Progressive incumbents like Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman didn't get the favoritism that centrist incumbents like Henry Cuellar do.
If you want your primary candidate to win then you need to sing the candidates praises. Shitting on the entire DNC is the absolute opposite of that.
