My impression is that contrary to the headline, this isn’t a young vs old thing, but a follows-the-news vs doesn’t-follow-news thing

    This assumes the party allows a primary challenger to any arbitrary seat. Usually they don’t for safe seats. Or at risk seats. Or any seats where the currently elected member is making them money.

      Yes, we can dither and make excuses all we like, but if we never try, nothing happens anyways.

      Might as well try, yeah? Unless of course we just want to complain about how the system is unfair and not actually do anything to change it.

        And you think doing the exact same thing over and over is “trying”?

        We’ve been doing things to try to change the system, but mainstream Dems, white liberals, tend to call us radical criminals, terrorists, and damaging to progress. When we try we get shot in the back. When we try we get anonymously reported by someone ‘that agrees with our ideals but not our actions’.

        So hopefully now that you people will be suffering too, you might not stab us in the back this time when things get a little uncomfy for white liberals.
