Seems like a childish thing to do.

Why not just vote out every single incumbent. Primary every single one.

You don’t think they would notice that?

Elections are rigged and your solution is to vote them out?

Not leaving, but I will not vote for any incumbent that has served more than 2terms. If incumbent wins primary, then I'm staying home on election day.

Even if it is rigged you don’t want to take 5 minutes to pull the lever and make them work to steal your vote? Maybe some brave soul will expose the corruption if they get sloppy enough

Louisiana has jungle primaries so I can leave the party and still vote their asses out.

Establishment Republicans are not winners and are not leaders. They want to be known as the "Gentleman Losers" and greeted with kindness at the best restaurants and country clubs in D.C. The process sets up their families for life. So, they continue

These people don't want to represent you or your wishes.

I don't associate with that type of person.

The party of Lincoln didn't worship GEOTUS as fervently as they should have.

Maybe the “libertarians” that were on this board 8-10 years ago are going to come back in full force.

They'll be choosy with who they support and it will end up being a swampy incumbent vs a swampy challenger.

Burn the whole party to the ground.

Exhibit A: Bernie vs Biden

The uniparty does what they want.

They were bamboozled by a RINO for the last 4 years.

Cant happen because the Republican Party is complicit in election rigging and will not allow it to happen or it will simply result in Rs losing seats to Ds.

Seems like a great time for Libertarians to take over like the Locofocos did to the Democrat party back in the 1800s.

I consider my ideals very well aligned with most of the tenets of libertarianism with a few exceptions and this is why I’ve held major grievances with the Republican Party for a long time now

I voted with them because of fiscal conservatism and a growing fear of the radical faction of the progressive movement but the stink of that party is too much to deal with anymore. Plus they suck at the whole fiscal conservatism bit.

Well, getting rid of most of the incumbents is a good idea. Two problems, one is that it rarely happens because of PAC money etc. and 2) most people like their rep, and think everybody else's is the problem.

Thousands tried this and the courts wouldn't hear it, media and big tech covered it up, and the people "in power" who attempted to expose it are now under attack. They are calling for their resignations, and in some cases incarceration.
