I'm not new here. Unless you're going to point out a local primary that turned on fewer than 300 votes instead of a greasy palm, your point is just as impotent.

If I cared that my nonparticpation were unique it actually wouldn't matter, but since that population outnumbers the primary electorate you make my argument for me

For the record, I do throw out the mailers. If you were going suggest something actually effectual it would've been to run myself or volunteer- but as it turns out you like circlejerking as much as I do

And again, if you’re not going to shit but bitch about the people that are pulling their weight, and how it doesn’t matter that you’re not doing shit because too many other people also don’t do shit, then your opinion holds about as much weight with me as the vote you’re not casting weighs in the outcome of the election.

The people you’re complaining about are going to pick your next mayor, just like they always have, and they’re going to do it because you and people like you are too salty to just make an effort. You think they give a shit that you’re sitting this out? They do not.

I frequently don’t like my choices come the general. But sometimes I do. Sometimes they’re even the person I helped collect signatures for, or donated to, or voted for in the primary.

You really like to repeat yourself don't you.

Wow, is that a salad 🥗.

The people pulling weight in the primary aren't the electorate, genius.

But yes, look at a 12% turnout and say yeah, the people rejecting the process due to the persistent corruption of the nominating bodies and the long-standing policy in place specifically to supress voting generally- they're the problem

Do you really think I'm trying to change your mind?

A stranger on the internet 🤣😂🤢🤮
