Despite the naysaying, isn’t this a good thing? Seems the new chair wants impartiality and if codified then should be a wide open contest.

It’s exactly what the Democratic party should want. Just not necessarily the Democrat politicians who may have overstayed their welcome.

Thanks for wasting mine and yours time. Blocked.

You’re still at this? Pathetic.

And who is punishing someone? I’m asking you to simply assign some blame to those responsible- nonvoters.

If that is “punishing” someone, then you yourself are “punishing” Democrats for their failure to garner more votes.

So moronic.

People like you are the reason we’re here- excusing all inaction. Great job.

Blah blah blah- it’s the Democrats, not the people who never turn out. And I mean ANY PRIMARY. Turns out there were PLENTY of people to vote for in the primary- just not the incumbent president. If any of those people were voted in maybe the Dems would have power to stop this insanity.

That is all your stuff boils down to though. It’s not the PEOPLE’S fault. It’s always “those guys over there.” Good luck with forever excusing apathy and see how far it gets you. I’m sure any day now it’ll turn around…

You guys are forever waiting for someone else to do something for you (ie. the Democrats.) It’s like training a dog- YOU have to put the work in. And by you I mean all the nonvoters. But hey- don’t listen to evidence that elections matter. Not like we had the ACA while imperfect that drastically improved fortunes for millions. But hey- everyone tuned right back out, didn’t show up to do anything to give Obama and co. more than a few months of a majority and thus we’re where we’re at now. Again- people didn’t show up.

But yeah- keep excusing them for not getting their pretty pony and being ok with them sitting out. It’s not their fault of course that they don’t vote in primaries. It’s because the party doesn’t somehow know how to capture every single little thing that 340 million people across a vast nation want. It’s the Democrats fault they don’t know what people want when people don’t take the sum total of an hour each year to go vote and let them know.

I’m not acting like there aren’t impediments to voting like voter suppression, etc. I’m just not excusing people from doing it anyway. They can- they choose not to. It’s not like voter suppression is responsible for 90 MILLION people not voting. Come off it already.

Anyway, have a good one.

Sure sure sure. FDR never existed, etc. etc. etc.

Excuses right on cue.

Im Not mad at you if you voted. Im pointing out excusing nonvoters never works, as evidenced.

Maybe if nonvoters ever came out we could’ve given Democrats more than the thinnest of majorities twice in a few decades and had more progress.

Why is that so hard to agree with? Again, if progressivism is so popular then why can’t people turn out and overtake the Democrat party?

I am doing something. Im fighting against this idea it’s all Democrats fault when they were barely given any power to begin with and no one cared to vote in primaries for Anyone better.

That’s a failure of nonvoters, period. Stop with the excuses so that no one ever feels THEY are responsible for all this horseshit we see today. THAT is counterproductive.

All blah blah blah. The NONVOTERS chose this with the fascists.

But keep ignoring all semblance of responsibility with your head in the sand.

Progressives either need to win more races or just stfu already. It’s always somehow everyone else’s fault.

Thing is- I WANT progressive policy. But acting as if there is some big majority that’s just waiting for the perfect candidate is foolish. Either it’s not popular or people are LAZY just like I stated before and need to be shamed into voting regardless.

Inconvenient truth for progressives.

Both honestly.

If progressivism was so popular they could’ve taken over the Democratic party at any time.

It’s also a wild take that nonvoters aren’t responsible for this fascist takeover. As if you needed more convincing somehow.

Yeah it’s working! Everything is burning down. It’s great!

But Im sure people like you think we can just undo all this calamity in a few years huh?

Reality is this current backwards turn won’t be fixed in our lives, let alone progressing forward. Dumbest fucking gamble ever.

But you just can’t put a price on that feeling of smug self righteousness ya know?

Or dumbasses are responsible for the fascist takeover here.

Dems aren’t great but it you couldn’t be convinced to vote here it’s not on them.

But yeah, keep making excuses for lazy people not doing their civic duty. It’s working out great.

Not that I recall.

I like it. Nice to be able to see all your workouts across whatever time period.

Nat is not a firewall…

Seriously. Unless you open up your Lan to the internet it functions the same way as ipv4 in respect to receiving unsolicited queries from the internet. All those are dropped.

And they belong on the block list. Absolutely no value provided at all.

Always bring Democrats in too on articles criticizing Republicans. They’re a band with only one tune.
