People who unironically belive that you can create real change by "voting harder" are the same people who think you can climb the economic ladder by "pulling yourself by the bootstrings"
or bomb countries into democracy
If voting could change things, it would be illegal.
strange, the assholes voting for trump sure changed things.
The guy is still running and the people can still vote for him. I'm not even sure that this endorsement is that necessary for this position:
Whatever the feelings about the DFL and how they handled it, the power of the vote would seem to be intact. It's a bit premature to be fatalistic about voting in this particular scenario.
The Democrats who are refusing to respect "blue no matter who" as they support Cuomo anyway is worthy of criticism, but even then he is still the official candidate and the people can vote. The Cuomo supporters are acting poorly, but again, the vote at least still matters.
Raise awareness as well about these moves, but don't be dismissive of the voting.
