How do you expect to be able to force the DNC to replace him without leveraging your vote?
Do you really not understand how cause and effect work? Is that the problem? How in the name of fuck would you withholding your vote in November in any way affect the DNC's decision in August? Do you believe that posting your ultimatum on lemmy will move the needle in the minds of the convention-goers??
I'm pledging to withhold my vote now, and if I don't follow through with my threat then it's hollow
Do you not understand how threats work? A threat that won't be followed through on is worthless.
(also nothing anyone says on lemmy matters, posting is just for fun and a way to make myself really mad lol)
It's not hollow. It's completely meaningless.
That's very funny coming from you, because you so clearly do not. In order for a threat to work, people have to actually realize that you're making a threat. Do you have a public presence? Any significant pull with anybody? A large and committed fanbase? Or are you just some idiotic nobody that nobody gives a fuck about yelling into the wind, like the rest of us? I very much suspect it's the last of these, which means that you're basically doing the equivalent of whispering your christmas list into a corner and then getting mad when Santa doesn't deliver you what you asked for.
