    Exactly.

    Its applying leverage to the party saying meet these criteria or get spoiled. It’s basically a union for protest votes, and it’s effective. Which makes it extremely important in the current two party system because it’s the only way certain issues will get addressed.

      Yeah absolutely how can I ever vote against war and imperialism if both parties are in favor of giving endless money to defense contractors? You’re basically saying I have to force myself to vote for the American military death machine in every single election or I’m a bad person and maybe you have a point but if you have to make that argument I think you should have a long look in the mirror
