Mature people who understand the political system in the US understand that primaries are where you vote your values, general elections are where you vote for least harm/best outcome of severely limited choices.

If you're not voting in local elections and primaries and pushing your values hard, you are failing at democracy.

Harris won no primaries. Until the party starts running honest primaries, or indeed has them at all in the presidential race, this is just gloating that the party forced a genocidal piece of shit on the voters without their permission.

If you’re not voting in local elections and primaries and pushing your values hard, you are failing at democracy.

I voted in my local runoff yesterday morning. Stop lecturing if you ever figure out how.
