    None of this prevented democratic primary voters from voting for a younger candidate. The voters still had the opportunity and the agency to make a different choice.

      Voter shaming accomplishes nothing, especially when the system itself is rigged.

      Voter shaming is the game that the DNC plays, and we’ve seen how that plays out.

      What will work is actually inspiring voters, which the DNC hasn’t done since FDR.

        I don’t want voters to feel ashamed, I want them to feel empowered, and I want them to accept the responsibility that comes along with that power. If we are more thoughtful in our choices, and if we do our due diligence as voters, we give party organizations, like the DNC, less power over us.
