Its wanting someone to fail to make a ballot.

That's not really what's happening here either.

No. Good try though.

Failing to make the ballot and not wanting them on the ballot are two different things.

If you've been trying to take over the DNC for decades, how you're doing that could use some work.

That's not what I am saying though.

If we want to actually change the DNC for the better, that means voting in their primaries and especially at the local level with a heavy preference (not seeking perfection) for truly leftist candidates.

The DNC needs to be taken over. Nagging will never do anything.

This is all just speculation. Maybe that's how it will happen, maybe not.

But the more votes and the more states won, the harder it is for them to bullshit their way through.

So everyone should vote.

That's not really the point.

The higher the turnout, the better. It's easy for them to do a repeat of the 2000 election. But not if there is a wide enough margin.

You seem to be saying that the voters are irrational.

Some are, some aren't. Either way, saying "just have better policy" is ignorant at best.

I've been slowly working on it for the last year or so. It's gone a lot smoother than I thought it would.

I disagree. While that's probably the case nine times out of ten, just because somebody is in a higher power seat doesn't mean they got there because they're greedy.

There needs to be change and protections at higher levels of government too.

Unless it is a local election, you have no chance of winning unless you're in one of the two main parties. So candidates almost always choose to join one of the parties.
