Everyday Americans can't even be bothered to fucking vote in the general election, let alone primaries. Embarrassing.
Which is by design. It's why to GOP is going after mail in votes and why polling places have been disappearing. It's why election day will never be a holiday. They want in to suck to vote. They want you in line for hours without food or water.. They want you to have to arrange time off of work to do so. They purge voter rolls. Etc.. Etc.
It's easy to blame individuals for systemic problems and call it a day, but you lose out on some nuance at best and some major issues in reality.
and also rig the machines, multiple times russians, musk has been hacking the voting machines they have used.
