Are you, right now running for office or supporting someone who is? Are you doing anything IRL to get someone progressive to win the primary, or just complaining to the choir online?

If you throw your hands up in the air and declare defeat in advance, you’re doing the establishments work for them.

  Good! 90% of the time it’s just whineing about Newsom being the shoe-in, while doing fuckall about it!

    That’s certainly the internet refrain.
    
    Weird that the people most enthusiastic about politics always gather together to accuse one another of not participating. But it sure does feed one’s sense of smugness to say it.

    I see enough “don’t bother voting” folks IRL too. Hour long rants patting eachother on the back over how corrupt the system they never bothered participating in is.
