How about you don’t jump in to demoralize every chance you get. Try to come up with solutions and ways forward. We all know things are fucked we’re just not apathetic whiners who see no way out and want to spread our apathy to others.
But again, why do you think I don’t want “that problem” solved. It would benefit me for it to be solved.
So where are your solutions? You have to have a perfect solution for everything before you admit anything is a problem, or you must shut up because reasons.
I’m working in real life to organize which is a hell of a lot more useful than trying to demoralize progressives online. I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.
Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.
Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Get a gun (or two) and learn how to use them. Establish secondary lines of communication and start preparing. Put in the work instead of suppressing people who are on your side.
Then don’t get mad when people talk about how it’s a problem when democrats don’t run honest primaries, when they deign to run them at all.
When did I do that?

I’m pointing out the first significant hurdle that needs to be overcome if we want to change anything.
You’re just mad because you don’t want that problem solved.
No you’re not, you’re just complaining. If there were anything actionable or useful in your comments I wouldn’t have responded to you.

Ok, and how will becoming a prepper get the party to start holding trustworthy primaries?
That’s what you took from that entire statement?
OK then, I think I’ve discovered the problem. Have a nice day.
Yeah, I’m not willing to pretend that untrustworthy primaries are trustworthy, and you consider that a problem.
