    We need progressive primary challengers, and we need PARTICIPATION in the primaries. Primary voter turnout is like 15% or something equally pathetic last I checked.

      Yup.

      Millions of Americans LOVE complaining about our presidential nominees but are nowhere to be found during the primaries. Can’t be bothered to be proactive. Can only be bothered to complain after the fact.

      That’s more because Primary candidates are all pre-selected and don’t stand to change the system. Voter apathy is high bevause voter will isn’t represented by the dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie.
