5 Reasons I left the Democratic party: 1. @JoeBiden 2. @SpeakerPelosi 3. They refuse to support #MedicareForAll despite the fact that 88% of Democratic voters do. 4. They are NOT “for the people.” They are for their corporate donors. 5. The “lesser of 2 evils” is still EVIL.

I think some people don't understand that if you keep voting for the lesser evil, you end up with a Trump like figure.

It's quite the opposite. If more people had voted for the lesser of two evils last time, Trump would never have become president.

Look, no one knows better than me (other than Bernie) what sick games they play. But this is our democracy we're talking about; we can't let Trump win again. And a lot of people who say they're progressives have sat out the primaries where there are actually good candidates.

If you know the sick games establishment Democrats play, and you care so much about our democracy that totally existed before Trump, why do you enable the corporate Dems to keep rigging their primaries? Will you be on the Blue No Matter Who train in 2024 and 2028, too?

Yes we can let Trump win and we should. Otherwise they will just kick us in the teeth even harder next time.

Our democracy means nothing if we can’t vote for candidates we want

Your democracy is already falling apart it can't handle either candidate. I want to stop Trump but I certainly don't want Tucker Carlson/Tom Cotton 2024 Or climate collapse 2030

Obama had a filibuster proof Senate and House and he still allowed millions of people to be kicked out their homes. We didn't even get a public option. We got right-wing Romneycare repacked as Obamacare. Oh and Flint still has no clean water. And the wars still continued.

I’m curious why you and @BernieSanders don’t speak more vigilantly and openly about the ‘sick games’ the @DNC play? If corruption is our biggest issue, wouldn’t this be the thing to berate?

What Democracy?

Sorry, I didn't realize. Anyway, we could have done better with some of these primaries and we still might in others. In my opinion, we need to stop Trump; that's got to be top priority. Then let's try to forge a progressive space within the Dems under Biden; if we can't, leave.
