    President is just one primary of thousands all across the country. All the fascist laws being passed in red states? That’s being done by Republicans at the state level and the president can’t do can’t do anything about it.

        I don’t mind if people protest vote during primary elections - that’s what they’re for. Protest voting in a two party system is shooting yourself in the foot unless you like the other guy running.

          This feels a lot like giving your little brother a disconnected controller so he stops bothering you.

            Republicans love that you think like that. They make sure to vote in every election.

            If enough people actually protest vote in a primary, it will affect who is in the election.

              That has not happened once in the 24 years I’ve been voting. In literally every election, even odd years.

                  Like I said: It’s like handing your kid brother a controller that doesn’t work. I keep pressing the button but nothing happens.

                    And as long as everyone isn’t doing their part, it won’t. That’s how democracy works. The ones who vote get to decide everything. Republicans vote.
