Ah, that’s a totally different issue.
I agree. The party doesn’t get our votes automatically. They need to earn them.
But that is a different subject altogether. It has nothing to do with making voting harder. We shouldn’t be restricting voting, we should be making sure that we nominate candidates worth voting for.
Conservatism is the better political philosophy. So long as we do it justice. That’s where our efforts should be - if we do our job then we don’t have to keep relying on low turnout to win statewide or national elections.
Restricting? Nope, open the field to any/all...best idea(s) win.
This whole B.S. ‘rules’ (5% of electorate, only XYZ on ABC, etc.) setup by the 2-party cabal are the problem
