I do vote in the primaries and it still doesn’t amount to much, especially considering the most well funded (corporate and welathy backed candidate) almost always win because it’s a name recognition game, and money buys that message into people’s brains for when they get to the booth.
And guess what, Harris didn’t even have a primary, she was appointed.
Then there is virtually no method (thru established channels) of public accountability once a politician gets into office. That is why in reality almost all of them succumb to money interests, for the few who didn’t already before getting elected.
You place way too much faith in the process of capitalist “liberal democracy” which is the shallowest shell of democracy. The architects of the political system are the rich and powerful themselves. It is an elaborate maze designed to keep the ones in power in power. You blame and direct your ire at the wrong people.
Vote in primaries. Don’t just wait until the only choices left suck and then complain.
