Yes! What the Dems have been is history. What voters make it is the future. That’s what primaries are for. So imagine what you want them to stand for and vote for the candidates that fit that vision.
Everyone should vote in their primaries, even if they can’t make the general. Your vote is higher impact there than in the general election for a few reasons:
The folks who usually vote in the primaries, bless ‘em, are not good at picking winners
Participation tends to be so low that it doesn’t take many additional votes to elect progressives
Progressives are MAGA kryptonite; people will actually show up for them in the general.
Also voting in primaries is easier, since early voting can often be completed digitally or by mail. You don’t have to take off work. And if you vote in person, you don’t have to be registered beforehand. Just show up to your polling center and they’ll have you fill out a special affidavit ballot that’s submitted in an envelope with your registration info.
