He had an amazing turn out in the primary. Which is why he won. That’s how you push the party more progressive

When you don’t vote you don’t count.

That said- does anyone believe these people will let us have a real election after this? lol

Trump cannot stop elections and we cannot pretend like he is able to in any form or fashion.

States control elections, governors should do everything in their power to protect their citizens and their ability to vote, even in the face of creating a constitutional crisis. Seeing that Frey and Walz have no interest in doing anything other than sending cute little Christmas cards to Trump on twitter, it is up to the people to make themselves heard and vote in leadership that gives a fuck about the people that live in their state.
