Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Doesn't that make "vote blue, no matter who" an equally dumb thing to do?

Yes. Voting straight ticket is for lazy people who can't be bothered to look up who their voting for. Or for cult members of either side. Unfortunately many states (like the one I'm in) only allow you to vote for one party in the primaries, when most normal people would want to vote different people for different positions based on their individual policies. We should vote for people, not parties.

Open primaries. Rank-choice voting. Abolish the EC.

Also, a socialist revolution

Closed primaries are so fucking stupid.

Why yes, it's undoubtedly equally moronic.
