1/ To those who think a response to the corporate Dems' dominance of the system, the party duopoly etc is to sit out the election or vote third party, I'd like to give my thoughts: 1) You'll teach them nothing by not voting. It didn't teach them anything in '16 & it won't in '20.

2/ The way to respond is to beat them at the ballot box. Unglamourous, nitty gritty campaign work.Yet is was rigged at the presidential level, but w/ down-ballots we've had plenty of opportunity already & progressives haven't always shown up the way we might: Romanoff in CO etc.

3/ If we really want political power, then we have to be involved in politics - not just comment on its injustices from someplace above it all. Yes, it's dirty. That just means we have to get dirt under our fingernails & help the candidates who would fix it if they were in there.

I disagree. The DNC needs to keep loosing. Our only power is out vote. I remove power from DNC by removing my vote. Vote for issues not tribes.

This lifelong Democratic Party-voting household from a long line of FDR Democrats will *not* vote for Biden. We'll no longer acquiesce to being blackmailed *again* by the @DNC's "lesser-evil" game, we won't reward their corruption anymore. We're done. It's over.

Actually it will teach them. They’ll either quit or change their tune.

How we do teach Party loyalists the lesson of non voting though? We need to offer people changes that will make their lives better to earn their votes, and they don't want to do that. How do you get someone who doesn't want to understand they're part of the possible to see it?
