Sitting out of life? Hardly.

I’m merely pointing out that voting is a sham. We’re not even to the general election yet and it’s quite clear the party bosses will do whatever they want to have it their way - REGARDLESS what the rank-and-file overwhelmingly want.

Further, I’m pointing out that the ballot box is not the only way to effect change. If fact voting is probably the least effective way.

If they pull the rug out from under The Donald and install a RINO (very likely), I stay home on election night.

It has taken me decades to unterstand why we have open primarys and close primarys caucuses and the like.

Short answer....
The Stat parys will nominate the candidate and you have a vote in the general election.

Most states allow votes from the people in the primarys but it is purely up to the state and the party to set the rules.

I dont have to like it but that is how it has been forever.

Lincoln got in on a 3rd ballot in a contested covention in 18 whatever
