    Texas isn’t the only state

    They’ve been electing lunatics and not turning out for years. This is not due to prevention of voting or bad election practices. It’s because they, particularly the progressives, don’t turn out to vote.

    I think Democratic turnout

    Isn’t the expectation of getting what you want in a candidate and by extension what you ask for, the purpose of a primary? That’s without a presidential candidate like Trump, where the priority becomes keeping them away from the reins of power.

    They get what they vote for, and their participation earns. Shit candidates, who aren’t working for them.

    And, when you look at people…

    That’s just another summary of selfishness for mine.

    And they’re tired of yours

    Yes, they don’t react to the mirror at all well. They look for excuses everywhere. Sounds like you are now as well.

    At some point it your duty to deliver

    Correct, and we see that in action with Mamdani in New York, who was put there by a decent turnout and being the right candidate. Proving both works if they do it.

      They get what they vote for

      They don’t. If they did, they’d have universal health care instead of another war in the middle east.

        Yeah nah they get what they vote for. In terms of turnout and result, their leaders represent them and reflect their vote.

        In order to get what you’re saying, they’d want 80- 90% turnout in primaries and elections and they are too lazy and selfish for that.
