minus-squareMelkath@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down9·1 year agoThe DNC is clandestine. They hold a primary election to make you feel involved, then they throw a party and put forth whoever they feel like it. Same model as the electoral college but with zero accountability instead of virtually no accountability. All your vote does is inform The Party that you are buying their horseshit.

minus-squareMelkath@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down3·1 year agoA vote isn’t a say in anything in particular. A vote is raising your hand in the attendance check. Stop giving corrupt people your attendance. Register independent. Vote on laws, not people. Pray the fire smothers without your fuel (your vote) so that we can finally build anew.
