Democratic Primaries

(35,816 posts)5. Many of us did in past primaries. But that's what primaries do: make people commit. They have
to learn, like adults do after they lose at one stage, to switch gears and go for the party package in the next stage.
First ask them to prove they've registered to vote. If they haven't, then you can see more clearly who they are. Many "cultist" candidate followers just want to extol the rightness of their candidate but don't actually take the trouble to vote, for whatever excuse; imo, people can still vote while they struggle; they should see voting as part of their struggle.
The way I see it, the General Elections separates those who can move forward, from those stuck in their rightness. It separates the adults from the grownups.

If I were to vote in a presidential
