    That’s not how this works. It is not a voters duty to vote for a candidate. The voter does not owe a candidate votes.

    Giving someone your vote is like giving them your personal political power. That’s why the popular vote works.

    The responsibility is on the party to put forth appropriate candidates that reflect the will of the people. It is up to them to sell themselves to us, not the other way around.

    In a democracy, all power is derived from the will of the people. They work for us. Not the other way around.

    It is up to the party to deliver appropriate candidates that will accurately reflect the will of the people.
