Looks like the headline is just clickbait anyways, author doesn't make any suggestions to hold anybody accountable. I've got a plan: lets get as many primary voters as we do general election voters.
The one silver lining here is that there will be a primary in 2028. And in 2026.
Get ready now. If you’re in a closed primary state, you need to register as a democrat to participate. If you don’t like voting for the lesser evil, getting off your ass and voting in every primary is the bare minimum you can do. You can do more by phone banking, volunteering, and educating your peers in real time as shit spirals in tangible ways over the next 2 years.
Biden in 2020 pledged to be a one-term president so there could be an open primary in 2024. The argument was beating Trump was more important than any given policy.
So he got that. And then decided to run again and the DNC essentially skipped their primaries. So that silver lining for 2026 and 2028 should be compared with the argument in 2020 being 'wait to primary in 2024'.
Uh, how are you going to get primary voters when there's no primary?
