Oh "the left" ! How does one channel the energy and passion of this voting block* into something productive?
Rashida Tlaib found a solution. A way to express anger. Of course centrist liberals hate it.
Getting more people to show up and vote in a primary ensures they are in the system and know where to vote. It's excellent practice. If writing "Uncommitted" is motivating that's great.
Done right this would HELP in the general.
*Start by seeing us as more than a "voting block"
@futurebird Isn't there some hopeless-but-idealistic candidate people could vote for in the primary? I worry that "uncommitted" pools together "Biden is too far to the right" with "too far to the left", "too old", "buying too many trains", "not buying enough trains", etc. It's showing up to the protest with a blank sign.
I've been voting for my favorite in the primary and the best remaining candidate in the general for years.
I like the point about using the primary to test/practice, especially if you're a target of voter supression.
