Do we have voting holidays for the primaries? Oh we don’t? So it’s quite likely a lot of those progressive voters are busy at work?

Hell, one year it was fucking caucuses in my state, where you had to show up and hang out for hours deliberating.

But sure, it’s not that the corporate wing of the party are in positions to be able to take off work and progressives are workaday laborers who literally struggle to get involved because of the roadblocks of American life.

When many US citizens can’t take a day off work without worrying about not being able to make rent, it’s kind of buffoonish to be like “They just need to try harder.” Maybe the party needs to make it way way fuckin easier to be involved and join the 21st fucking century instead of being like “these rules we’ve been using for 100 years are rock solid, no changes needed, fuck change.” The only people saying that are the corporate wing of the party because that benefits them to have progressives stuck on the hamster wheel.
