Stop electing pro-corporate trash in the primaries.

Are you under the impression that somehow I have the ability to elect different people in the primaries, and I'm just choosing not to?

I have no idea who you voted for. If you didn't vote for Biden then great. You're not a selfish piece of shit. Congratulations. Now take a look at the rest of my recommendations for things that would be a better use of your time:

Start screaming at people who vote for pro-corporate trash in the primaries. Start screaming at the DNC for having primaries be decided in states that go to Republicans in the general. Start screaming at Biden to promise not to block the rail unions in 2025. Start screaming at Biden to stop supplying weapons to Israel. One of those things might make a difference. Screaming at us will not. I promise you.

What if Bernie Sanders might get elected in the primary, but I decide there's an element of his platform that I don't like, and I stay home in protest instead of voting, and Biden wins the primary instead? Am I, then, a selfish piece of shit?

No.

Anyone who didn't vote, or voted for Warren, Bernie, Pete, Kamala or even a couple others is fine by me. But if they voted for Biden they're a selfish piece of shit. If they voted for Bloomberg they're a selfish piece of shit and a moron.
