I’m pledging to withhold my vote now, and if I don’t follow through with my threat then it’s hollow

It's not hollow. It's completely meaningless.

Do you not understand how threats work?

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.
