    I agree completely. At a certain point you get a certain understanding of how this all works. I’m not happy about it and I’d like to change it (and when we have real primaries I’ve tried), but that’s where it’s at.

    When you’re young and have only seen Trump v Democrat it’s a weird choice. I don’t say that to downplay how bad Trump is, but I do want to highlight that it’s a long term battle.

      If you’re still pinning your hopes on electoral politics achieving meaningful change, you don’t really get it at all.

        Electoral politics, especially at the Presidential level, are not where the majority of my hopes go. My hopes are more directed at local politics, Federal Representatives, State Representatives & City/Town Representatives.

        That being said a Trump presidency is still a disaster and a Harris presidency comes with a lot of wins. So picking the right person (and their policies) is still important.
