Yeah, no. Let's hold the media accountable. For treating Trump like a serious candidate in the first place and giving him all the air time, the jester that he is. For harping on every single thing the Dem candidate did wrong while apologizing and making excuses for Orange Julius at every turn. Going on and on about Biden's age and then never bringing up age again once Biden dropped out of the race. Let's hold the oligarchs accountable for doing their best to stifle free speech, welcoming Russian and GOP astroturfing of the internet, and the last hundred years of slowly breaking down our democracy so they can have more money when they already have so much more than enough. No it's all the Dems fault 🙄

Looks like the headline is just clickbait anyways, author doesn't make any suggestions to hold anybody accountable. I've got a plan: lets get as many primary voters as we do general election voters.

The one silver lining here is that there will be a primary in 2028. And in 2026.

Get ready now. If you’re in a closed primary state, you need to register as a democrat to participate. If you don’t like voting for the lesser evil, getting off your ass and voting in every primary is the bare minimum you can do. You can do more by phone banking, volunteering, and educating your peers in real time as shit spirals in tangible ways over the next 2 years.

No thanks, Dems have proven they don't care about primaries. They don't care about the working class. They don't care about solving problems or even preventing fascism.

So they're a failure of a party, one that has no democratic route to being fixed.

Vote third party. Down ballot, up ballot, everywhere. People forget we had fptp and a similar duopoly when the Republican party was invented, that broke the duopoly and formed a new one. It's not an excuse.
