I hate social media. I hate joining in any way, to the point it’s straight up clinical.

Only unity amongst decent people can possibly win the day, year, future.

It would completely change how politics are a done in this country if we could do what you’re suggesting.
The secret sauce (not really all that secret) to achieving that goal is same-day voter registration.
Get that enacted in your state and watch the culture of participation take hold.

The only thing that could get me to quit was long distance hiking in mountains.
Good luck! Quitting is worth it in many ways, however you do it.

Ah yes, the ‘ol ‘criticizing incumbents enables Republicans‘ yarn… I’ve been hearing that for 40 years.

It’s primary season, it’s *time* for democrats to criticize Democrats.
Best toughen up.

You have no idea what I am or am not doing, and you likely wouldn’t believe me if I told you.
You, on the other hand, have a consistent theme of inferring that people with opinions other than yours should remain silent.

*Need. I need someone else to do the work. I repeat: I’m not qualified.
‘People must remain voiceless if they themselves don’t run for office’ is a childish argument.

Imagine if you told your middle-management boss, “I shouldn’t have to do this review process. You might fire me.”
It’s the equivalent of these incumbents arguing for no or token primary challenges.

Bottom line: Every Democratic incumbent should have to defend their seat, every time they are up for reelection. I don’t give a shit how good or bad they are.
Contested primaries make for stronger candidates.
Don’t believe the lies from bad incumbents greasing the skids for themselves.
