It always stands out to me that, even if I accept the tenets of liberal electoralism, VBNMW doesn’t work! Your vote is your power within that system. If you will vote for the democratic candidate regardless, why would they feel any need to do what you want? You aren’t depositing voter-credit in an account which you can then draw on to alter their platform. They already have everything they want from you!

Just infuriating.
