No. Voter roll meaning number of registered voters, not votes cast and counted.

Well this is a dumb take (since it would quite literally prevent the “that” you want from happening). The way it happens is voting for whatever Democrat you can, and actively participating in the primary race so that you get the Democrat you want.

I love that even two leftists together can’t come up with the idea of fixing the car themselves. Maybe bc on a subconscious level they know they’re not capable 😂

Apparently it’s against the rules 😮

I wonder if mods see the irony of their other rule against any type of prejudice.

Cool analogy, bro.

Even in your scenario, the car is broken because you haven’t been doing the proper maintenance, and you’ll never afford that other car because you’re currently working for a different kind of currency than what’s accepted where you live.

But I do accept you’d rather do business with the scrap metal dealer and leave yourself with no mode of transportation than fix your fucking car.

That line fits Hasan pretty well, actually.

His whole model is to deride institutions while depending on other people to do the institutional work he looks down on. He can bless the handful of candidates who pass his purity test, but that is not the same thing as building power. In U.S. politics, elected officials need a broad coalition around them, and the way Hasan operates his platform subverts that.

So even when his preferred progressives win, what then? If there are fewer Democrats overall (because people like Hasan don’t discourage voting third-party or abstaining from voting in general), then progressives have fewer coalition partners, and smaller voting blocs to work with, so those wins come with less leverage, not more, and the country slides farther to the right.

Bernie Sanders understands this, which is why when Hasan tried to draw Sanders into criticizing Newsom, Sanders did not indulge it. Same reason Sanders was so friendly with Manchin: he knows what compromises need to be made to maximize chances of enacting progressive policy.
