Uh no, it's a private blog.

you're trying to silence and marginalize my Voice. you can not fight oppression and tear down the master's house with the master's tool. discourse must be entered into with sincerity and a conscious realization of the multi-textured power dynamics and hegemonic narratives.

@BombayBankerBoy: Definitely takes more money to compete in an election (though I wouldn’t say “buy” necessarily; debatable). The primary elections – happening within the party, prior to the general election – have a lot less turnout and tend of focus around the hard-core and most excitable activists. A little less money in a sleeper race can do it for you at the primary level, while getting a win in the general is another thing entirely.

I’m probably misreading, but–you can buy a seat in the Parliament/Congress of the world superpower for US$ 45,000? Something must be off here, or else I’m going to be in charge real soon! Can somebody fill me in on the reality?
