While someone new isnt of itself necessarily an improvement, if they take a seat from a Democrat who wont stand up to fascism, it is. Elections are meant to be democratic. We do not have a House of Lords: the notion that elected representatives should serve for life uncontested is undemocratic. The claim that a primary is the same as voting for a Republican is false. Of course we will all vote for the Democrats in the GE.
Fascism is the single issue of our time. Resisting it is all that matters.

Same as Establishment but being "anti-institutionist" isn't really a thing and doesn't have the groovy '60s

Primary out those that vote with trump, or who are silent in this fight for our democracy. Bravo.

Just put "the people" or "grassroots" in front of money and it's pure while everyone else's is a bribe from Satan.
