I can't imagine anyone not wanting to be angry and protest when they keep getting ignored. So many voice votes just ignored. Why even bother with the process if you're just going to ignore what it means?
If that's the issue, the folks that fed up with things should get off their ass and make their own party, instead of trying to suck on the teat of an existent one and screw up its general working at the same time. They knew what the hell they were getting into going into this, and when that's a problem
you don't do it. Or get the party support and fix the tally method
beforehand, or whatever would let them cooperate with a clean conscience. The methods for change exist. Maybe if these folks spent half the time they do tantruming trying to build bridges and convince other folks that using those methods is a good idea, they wouldn't have this problem.
I would personally have zero bloody issue if this had happened a few months ago, or if these folks had just gone independent before the primary started or whatever the hell would make them feel better, since the means and methods of the bloody party they willingly signed into isn't cutting it for them. But when they start doing shit like's being talked about, it starts pissing me off from an almost purely technical standpoint. It's an example of either incompetence, bad faith, or outright maliciousness, and none of the above make me even remotely happy. This is not how you work with a group you've voluntarily joined. This is not how a competent adult pushes for intraorganizational shift. This is how a jackass grandstands at the expense of everyone they previously claimed to be supporting. If they want to protest, they should stop trying to reap the benefits of the organization first, damnit. You don't with good faith claim to be supporting an organization and then undercut what it's trying to do.
I'm all for change and protest and all that shit, but goddamnit when you sign up to support something you bloody support it, and do what you need to do to push for change when it's
not betraying your previous commitment,
or you get out.
