How do you expect to take it back from rats when there is literally no rules or laws on your side that in any way mandate a fair process, either in primary races or party governance? It’s a private corp and they can do whatever the fuck they want to screw you over and prevent a hostile take over. It’s patriot party or bust at this point.

Do you honestly believe this? Have you done the research and local activism to truly determine this? Or are you simply whining to have the excuse to do nothing? Why would anyone want party members to a new party signing up with such a piss poor attitude, anyways?

Perhaps you aren’t actually a patriot at all, just a pinko shill sent to demoralize and spread chaos.

They make more sense than you do.

Maybe when you realize they don’t even have to hold primaries at all, they can literally make back room deals if they wanted, then you’ll know that everything is just theater and if we want to make a change we have to do it ourselves.

The current political machines aren’t built for change, they’re built to enrich politicians by selling us out, and maintaining the status quo.

K, your solution?

They make more sense than me, but you and the others offer nebulous “do something” platitudes. That makes more sense, got it.
