24. I can't stay in a party that is going to steal my vote. I am tired of the way the party controls

every minute detail of how we vote. My vote is my vote damn it and no party is going to tell me how to vote and then throw my vote away if I don't obey their rules. My daughter wants to try and change things from the inside. I wish her and all of you luck.
