What is the fucking point of voting for individual candidates, if they're not allowed to act as individuals?

Representative democracy, my hairy balls. God damn lawful-netural amoral bastards can go straight to hell.

Tens of thousands of people dying, but all they give a shit about is their precious lockstep.

And no, Ms. Wong, spending ten years voting against gay marriage wasn't some noble sacrifice for the greater good, it simply means you were just as amoral then as you are now.
