How about taking charge of the system, and changing the rules to get the proper outcome? How about insisting that the existing rules get enforced?
Because those enforcing "the Calvinball rules" are willing to kill to get their way and have demonstrated it repeatedly. I fear that there is no solution outside of voting from the rooftops.
They really, really, really don't want me playing Calvinball.
I'm not at the roof-top solution (not that I'd be using MY rooftop anyway) yet.
I've spent years, and lots of shoeleather, trying to make a political change, and I have helped, here near me.
I'll keep working that angle until I can't.
