    The primary is often the moment to be ideologically pure. (And we need to focus much more progressive energy around primaries.) The general election is usually a time to be strategic, accommodate, vote in ways that prevent bad outcomes.

        It would be good if the primary were fair too but it's ultimately not and now corporations have superdelegate votes. I fear democracy is now dead and not voting may be the only way to have our voices truly heard.

        a lot of people tried that last year and here we are. we have to vote regardless -- even though democracy died a long time ago.

        I'm not sure my vote is worth much anymore. The power rests with the powerful - people need to take back control and that needs to be done regardless of who is in office.

        i only vote for the right to complain. i'm no longer worried about whether it makes a difference or not on the national level since it's still very important on the state and local level and especially for the midterms.

        Yes - i agree on state and local level but voting for federal level - well, I'm questioning it.

        here's where your vote matters: the opposition WILL vote regardless.

        But that also means we need to express our ideological purity during the primary in ways that doesn't hamstring us come the general (compare Perrielo/Northam to Sanders/Clinton . . . perhaps)

        White people have an interesting idea of "accommodating." Usually it means being totally anti black in every way they possibly can. Just ask John "the north should have compromised" Kelly.

        Now that is the kind of meh thinking that loses dems enthusiastic supporters overall. Especially the young, who will become more and more important.

        There is a time and a place for everything, including lighting it on fire. It is still unclear whether DNC-folk got the message from the last election.

        Which is why people were pissed because @HillaryClinton and @DWStweets rigged the primary against @BernieSanders... So your primary was already ideologically un-pure.
