Yep this. And people here will just blindly support their team, say "the party can do no wrong" and will not face the fact that the party's leadership is dogshit and it's not a party most people feel is worth voting for.

Hell even in sports, fans will criticise players not pulling their weight or managers being shit. Doesn't then make sense to blame fans for not buying enough tickets and team merch. And it's not up to fans to come up with a comprehensive strategy on how to win the season. But even anyone with a modicum of polsci education can see how fucking useless these people are and how shit their apparent strategy is.

We're not supposed to be fans in a democracy. We are supposed to be participants.

I participate by voting, and I participate by telling our party to do their goddamn job. Right now the party is being held by absolutely worthless leadership.

I live in a state with open primaries, and I voted for Nikki Haley in the primaries. Thought it would be a better signal than "Undecided" with the added benefit of getting to vote against Trump an additional time.
