If your left-leaning candidate lost their primary, that does *not* mean they -- or you -- failed.
Parties can do math, and they respond to primary runs.
If they move their dominant candidate even one inch to the left, as a result of a close-run primary, we still won.
We didn't get in to this shithole in one election, and we're not gonna get out of it one election.
Please don't storm off and non-vote in the generals. Celebrate your smaller w, and lay plans to make it bigger.
