25. Public figures they trust telling them Democrats are corrupt, bribed by oligarchs and billionaires and donors,

same as Republicans, the establishment rigs primaries and conspires to stop any progress and are terrified of progressives, elites who ignore the working class and no economic policies or message, do nothing: the party must be taken over and Democrats replaced.

Some of the many many lies the uninformed believe, become cynical and not vote or vote third party. Sad that people mindlessly believe lies and conspiracies about Democrats without thinking for themselves or doing a few minutes research. Bad move for the future.
