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 voted for Romanoff. The reason Hick got it and I dare say, the ONLY reason he got it, is bc he polled so strongly against Gardner. Most Dem voters were not willing to take the chance to have Romanoff lose to Gardner. We hate Gardner that much.

Beat them at the ballot box -ok. But you say here that the Presidential race was rigged. So the response -to corporate Dems doninance of the system of a rigged Presidential nomination- is to vote for it?

if Dem leadership really wanted to win they could have coronated almost ANY orher candidate. they picked Biden. I don’t think they really want to win.

The way to respond to this duopoly is to dismantle the corrupt system that created it. You cannot solve a problem of this magnitude with the same mindset & tactics that created it. #AbolishTheElectoralCollege #RepealCitizensUnited #EndGerrymandering #EndCorporatePersonhood

your passion for progressive action during this time won't be forgotten and you have more than earned serious consideration for president in 2024. #marianne2024

I will not reward the Democratic party's malfeasance with my vote, but you do you.
