    While I agree with the underlying sentiment, this is actually false.

    The primaries NOW for upcoming Senate and Congress seats are just as, if not more important than the inevitable outcome in November.

    If you need any proof, just look at the outsized coverage every single DSA-linked candidate has gotten since winning their respective primaries.

      Absolutely. I will vote in the primaries, for the furthest left candidate that runs.

      I will do the same in November. It’s the ONLY way we move the goalposts to the left. Not voting is not an option

      Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. We’re not going to get perfect. Human beings are deeply flawed creatures. I’ll settle for less evil.

      The primaries are the battle that matters. The Democratic establishment is the enemy.

      It’s funny that it’s producing a Barbara Streisand effect, which by the way what story was she trying to bury? It kind of got buried by the South Park nonsense

        I’m old enough to remember this happening, it was her attempts to remove a photo from a coastline survey that depicted her home off the Internet:

          Oh yeah, I was in middle school so I didn’t really catch the news parts of that story, I just thought South Park was cool because it was a cartoon with bad words and Kenny always died. It’s too bad they became libertarians but at least they take the piss out of Trump

                  They mocked Al Gore for warning us about climate change.

                  They constantly push “both sides” narratives.

                  It’s kind of a wash. These are the guys that acted like a vote between W and Kerry was the difference between a douche and a shit sandwich.

                  They also mock Gore’s thing on global warming.

                  They give a lot of fuel for the “both sides” bullshit. Yes, they provide some funny satire of the right, sometimes.
