Take all your marbles and don’t participate. Strip elected opposition leaders of their duties/powers. A dangerous corner for them to paint themselves into. They are slowly chocking democracy. We gotta change this at the polls..while we still can.

You would have to be genuinely deranged to think that you would get any mileage by doing this.
