        The younger adults showed up to a primary and won it. But, unfortunately, the SCOTUS ruled that private organizations can nominate whomever the fuck they want regardless of the outcome of the vote. Those adults don’t vote anymore.

        It’s certainly their fault. /s

            You moved the goal post then assumed I was an idiot. This was a time when you probably should’ve asked one good question. If you do so now perhaps another user will answer.

              What? Which goal posts did I move? You can feel free to use whatever goalposts just give me the primary you’re thinking of and the age range you’re including.

              Also still waiting on whatever wild SCOTUS ruling you’re thinking of.

        Given Trump’s full support of genocide, I would say voting for him would be choosing genocide and not “minimizing”.

        Alternatively, one could disengage from the electoral system and instead focus on actions history has proven effective.

            The failed invasions and colonizations of Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc. were ended through brutal defeat despite decades of “democratic” support.

              Ummm, all of those came about via democracy?

              Edit: Also, most of those weren’t wars…

                  Are you maybe meaning to comment on another thread or something? Right now it looks like you’re trying to claim that “The New Deal, the Civil Rights Act, Women’s Lib, cessation of hostility in Vietnam, the Clean Water Act, the ADA” all of which (except maybe arguably Vietnam) were things passed by popular demand by a democratically elected government…
