The DNC pulled this poo poo because they know that no matter how hard they gently caress over their own voting base they can yell TURNMP and get a good portion of them to slump along into the polls and still press the button despite being totally super mad and unhappy about it. But as long as you still press that button they don't give a single poo poo. The Democratic party is no longer a political party by any real definition, it has no agenda, nor the competence or will to acquire and use political power to accomplish anything. At best it's a bunch of fart-sniffing bluebloods who are far too isolated to ever understand the struggles of the people they're allegedly representing; at worst they are an active act of sabotage towards the viability of any real left-wing movement (and after the last two primaries, I'm leaning towards the latter). And the only leverage you have at all against them is your vote. It counts for vanishingly little in our system but it's literally all you have. If you see them flagrantly deny your values, openly commit graft and fraud and election rigging while waging a propaganda war directly against your interests, and you still give them your vote, you are a worm and they will treat you like one. And you will deserve it. Trump, for all his insufferableness, is the best thing to happen to the American left wing in decades. And now that the Republicans are playing at appropriating the socialist face the Democrats are currently occupied with undermining at any cost, it's more important than ever to give momentum to the real left-wing movement to slow the further entrenchment of the right wing. If Bernie is not nominated, I will be voting downticket to support any non-shitlib candidates on the ballot, but I will decline to vote for president, and then I will go home and watch Trump sweep.
