*the* barrier to leftists on the ballot is leftists not voting
what is turn out in the usual primary?
dismal
what happens if leftists mobbed the #primaries?
spent 1/1,000th the energy spent online whining, in just showing the fuck up?
we'd have 50 Mamdanis
all the centrist assholes, all the money, all the systemic issues: who fucking gives a shit
just show the fuck up
#vote
the biggest problem for the left, is the left
they don't vote
