To all the MFer here claiming "we have no other choice!" "Third parties spoil elections!", etc.: you're not getting it:

The solution is not to disengage, but rather to start building up true political power by mass organizing.

Primaries. Fucking people need to show up for the primaries. I usually only see people coming out and bitching about their shitty choices in the general. It doesn't help that Americans really like to vote for incumbents, and that the fucking parties really like to only support incumbents.

What primaries? The dems had primaries?
As if the Dems would have let Bernie won
(Most important point): Telling people they acted wrong doesn't address any systemic issue.
Non-sequitur much?

I see you only like voting for the president and don't care about all the down ballot choices. That's too bad.

I don't have he ability to vote for a president.

Again, a non-sequituron your part.

I said "organize!" You said "but primaries!" How is that not a non-sequitur?

Edit: I said "what primaries?" And that liberal democracies are systemically flawed and you claim that I only vote for Presidents. Again: how is that connected in any way?
