And those elections are free, fair and competitive?
I had a friend; good-looking SOB, ex-infantry officer, PHD, Party member for years. Very disciplined party-line follower on social media. He got enough preselection votes for a particular role on the MP track.
Immediately disqualified by Central for fake reason.
Anyone within cooee of elected office has to go through multiple rounds of filtering, here. Any sign of independent thought and they're out...
Yes, but most voters I know actually don't want free thought. They find independent or contrary thinkers disturbung, and will prefer whatever is currently in trend.
That's why it's worth focusing on being a trendsetter, rather than a politician.
You are a trendsetter on Nostr, dear friend, but not on any social network with the power to reach millions and swing elections.
We need to grow Nostr, I guess. But Normies are so tedious...
Its a discipline game
Kowtow to the party committee or get out
