If we can't be bothered to vote in the primaries, wjy would anyone believe us that a progressive candidate would somehow lure millions more to vote?

As I know the comments will be, uhhh, fun, I've turned off reply notifications.

There may be a ring of truth in that, but I'm registered "no party" in my state and therefore CANNOT vote in the primaries. I've considered changing my affiliation to Republican, so I can vote I'm their primaries.

    I did, you should too. Could function as useful camouflage someday too.

    "What do you mean I'm accused of terrorist sympathizing? I'm a registered Republican, I vote in the primaries, for the love of Pete!" (I gotta work on my chud vernacular, to be sure)

    Yeah good point. But I think I may be screwed just from my Lemmy posts alone.

    You're not wrong, if any of us become interesting enough there's not really any hiding. But it's not magic either and there are a whooooole lot of disgruntled internet personas for them to monitor. I'm with ya though, I try to limit the details I give while simultaneously aware that it's probably pointless.
