    Why should they care if they can safely take your vote for granted no matter what they do?

      safely

      Have you ever voted in a primary? That’s where decisions are made. Once you get to the “actual” election, then no there are no real choices.

        Of course I vote in the primaries.

        It’s where I get to see party leadership most directly oppose progressives.

        Gloat harder.

          Of course it’s where Dems will most oppose anyone you like. After primaries it’s Dems versus Republicans. It’s wild you’d think it would be different.

          Gloat would imply I’m happy about the current arrangement. There was a scientist in antarctica who had to perform surgery on himself. Do you think he was gloating before the surgery finished? No, the political environment sucks right now. I want it changed, because if it keeps trending the way it does right now, I’ll be killed. Doing nothing isn’t a solution to my problems.
