If Josh Shapiro wins the nomination I will not vote for him, I cannot stand this nonsense, this is absolute insanity. How the hell are modern Democrats less progressive than FDR (and he was a massive racist), we are a century ahead yet we are centuries behind. Now we're fighting over which fascist is more palatable so when can whitewash them and call them progressive. I voted for Kamala in 2024 but NOT AGAIN, I will NOT vote for another mild flavor of fascism lite.

"They" being tens of millions of voters in the primaries. You could be one of them, maybe?

This whole discussion has been a fascinating read in the comments.

But does anyone really think we're going to have another election? Much less a non-rigged election?

harris is polling at like the second most popular frontrunner for 2028 it's delusional to think if harris gets the nomination it's because she wasn't popular

You do know that "they" do not pick the candidates right? It is called a primary election and it is where anyone registered in the party can go and vote for WHO they want to be the candidate. It is the part of the election that is voted on by the tiniest little minority of both parties but has the absolute biggest impact on the race.

You don't like the shit ass candidate for your party? If you did not vote in the primaries then you have no right to complain. Go vote in the primaries and complain away. Otherwise suck it up and suffer, just like all the non voters who are hating Trump at the moment. Got no one to blame but yourselves.

A lot more people than the DNC are blaming people for not voting Democrat & sticking us with this shithole administration. It was a huge no-brainer.

Its never about what the majority wants. Its what minority wants. They are fat satisfied one percenters and the only thing they hate worse than a maga is letting the little people have a choice.

I highly recommend reading Ezra Klein's latest book "Abundance" for a look at why the DNC has been losing the working class. It also offers some optimistic ideas for moving forward.

For the whole history of democratic primaries, the nominee was always the one that received the most votes. It probably of doesn't have to be, but it always is. "they" in question are people of America who know more than nothing about how democracy in their country works.
Progressives are going to bitch and moan about how nobody does what they want, but will refuse to participate in the very process designed to ask them what they want.
It's almost like some idiots on the internet don't want change, they want to be oppressed.

I've voted in every Democratic primary since I could vote for Kucinich. State and local, too. When does participation mean they care what I think?
