I am just saying that this is a crucial moment, and registering and voting in primaries will have much more weight to it, than going on parades every 6 months chanting “No Kings”.
I get how much the dems suck, they are soulless ghouls, and are as much at fault for the US becoming a fascist nightmare as the conservatives. but voting out AIPAC influence is probably the most consequential thing we can do right now. And if a tiny fraction of people concerned about this actually go and vote in primaries we can actually have an effect, as only a tiny minority votes in those.
Also, not sure if you can or it depends on the state, but if you can register and vote in other parties primaries, please do so, I’m 100% sure conservatives without AIPAC will be a much better opposition. they are still fascists cunts, but at least we wont have to worry about being on the beck and call of Netanyahu.
Also, given that Jill Stein was arrested for beating a cop in a Gaza protest (the news ignored it), I doubt they have an AIPAC problem.
but if i vote for someone who is bad, and they win, that’s bad.
dr oz ran against dave mccormick for the primary, and dave lost. fetterman beat oz in the general. all three are in the federal government now. that’s bad.
can’t vouch for your location. but I’m me area, there are a few genuinely good progressives running, they refused AIPAC contributions (bare fucking minimum of a politician is to not accept bribes). I trust them. at least I trust them to be less shitty than generic Democrats.
also, I’m not sure if you are involved and you’re talking from frustration at your primaries. all I’m saying is, that if you can. vote in the primaries, that vote will be much more influential than midterms or even general elections vote

don’t vote for someone who’s bad then.
what i’m hearing is don’t vote in republican primaries, or democrat primaries, or for them in the general.
