Got my ballot, went to the booth and froze

I wish I did not have the feeling in the pit of my stomach

If we can’t vote for who we really want in the primary, when can we ever vote for who we really want?

@anon29537550

And are we really not capable of seeing how much damage Il Douche is doing to our country that we would, if nothing else, fail to vote against Trump even if our fave is not the nominee?

One of our departed mutant siblings had some things to say about this line of reasoning

Remember when they told us Hillary, not Bernie, would beat Trump?

Here’s a good rule: If you can’t call them on the phone to complain, blaming a person/people does not serve a function. By which I mean: Voters are not accountable. They are 100% not accountable. Attempts to hold them accountable only ever alienate them. The DNC has phone numbers, they are an institution, they can be held accountable, and all of the blame rests there. (The RNC also has a phone, but they aren’t accountable to you.) Saying “Grr, stupid voters” is literally what people were saying…
