I’ve learned that an unsettling amount of people on Lemmy don’t know what a primary is and this really explains why primaries only have a 10% turn out most of the time.
The worst part is that people on Lemmy are more politically engaged than your average eligible voter. This is literally the top half of the population, in terms of political engagement and education.
More engaged, yes. More educated, ehh. I don’t know about that. I’ve seen several and been involved in arguments where one, or in some cases both, parties learn policy from memes, other comments, or YouTube videos.
Not to mention the high volume of tankies and wannabe tankies there are on Lemmy. That’s the exact opposite of what I would define as educated.
People should have voted in primaries, then. I did. Both times. Clearly not enough did.
Elizabeth Warren should have dropped out before Super Tuesday

No, no, you see, if we just convince enough people NOT to vote in the primaries, the whole system will collapse!
The dems are doing a great job of convincing people not to vote. There’s really no better method than constantly nominating garbage candidates.
