Unless the candidate is a progressive, then the establishment Dems won't endorse them (unless the progressive wins, then suddenly they totally supported the progressive all along)

(no, I'm not saying don't vote, just frustrated by the fucking hypocrisy)

    Don’t just vote Democrat, vote in the primaries.

    Ya that's a problem I have in my neck of the words. Everyone complains about who is on the General Election ticket and they just shrug their shoulders about voting in the Primary.

    If voting day was a holiday it would less of a problem

    I have worked for companies that would rather pay out unemployment due to wrongful termination than give time off for voting.

    If voting day was a holiday, only people who get federal holidays off would get the day off. But it would be a great excuse to get rid of early voting.

    Easy fix (that almost every other country uses): vote on Sunday.

    Good thing no one has to work on Sundays. Easter Sunday is a federal holiday and there's plenty of people who still have to work.

    If voting day becomes a federal holiday, states that don't like the idea of poor people voting will do away with early voting.

    vote in the primaries.

    When the party runs primaries at all, they interfere with them every chance they get. Saying "jUsT vOtE iN tHe PrImArIeS" without acknowledging this paints the results of the party's corruption as the will of the people.
