But, then, the Democratic Party here gets behind actual progressive change, and gives people reasons to turn out.

Universal vote by mail doesnt hurt, too.

After all why care about voting when you think it doesn't count. But after all this is what happens when you have a very rigged system that allows two very disliked candidates and many don't want. And keeps out candidates that many do.

Yeah I expect this upcoming GE election will be a record low turnout one if things go as they are. And that's not good for dems.
