ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIES 2d ago

@macacator @mikelovesbikes @admin @painting_squirrel @bridgeenjoyer @aho

we've already had some, but we have some more: #primaries

that is where we can make a serious difference by getting real left #candidates

and yet primary turn out is always abysmal

so anyone who says they are on the left and doesn't show up in the primaries: i doubt their authenticity

so much energy whining online, and not voting in the primaries, is gobsmackingly stupid

but also yes: we do shenanigans too as you say

Caruana, Nakamura, Esipenko.

There. There is my #Chess #Candidates favorites for this event. Caruana is highly probable, Nakamura is my personal preference, Esipenko is the dark horse that can (and expect) to surprise all 'experts' saying he will underperform.

By the way, it's the most elite and prestigious chess event, besides the championship itself, how is qualifying there 'underperforming'? Dude!
