'MDC does not discuss strategies on twitter' - never had any, dare you to name just one

Opposition MDC President Nelson Chamisa has refused to divulge his party's strategy and plans on social media.
Chamisa was responding to a Twitter user who asked for a way forward in relation to the ever sinking economy.
Anyone who believes MDC has any strategy for anything other than how to sell-out and get on the gravy train by hook and by crook is naïve. We have all heard of such claims as "MDC has stringent measures to stop Zanu-PF rigging elections!" And yet when push came to shove it turned out the party did not even have the common sense to demand the ZEC produced something as basic as a verified voters' role as is required by the law!
"MDC has the key to legitimacy and economic recovery!" Chamisa has often claimed in the party's desperate effort to force Mnangagwa to form a power sharing arrangement. Chamisa is lying, he has no such keys!
"Legitimacy is an issue - last year's elections were illegal, and not free and fair. All reasonable observers concede that," admitted David Coltart, MDC Alliance Treasurer General.
Mnangagwa and this Zanu-PF regime are illegitimate by virtue of the election being "illegal and not free and fair". Surely it is not for MDC to bargain and grant legitimacy to anyone; legitimacy is derived from the people and not some self-proclaimed upstarts!
Zimbabwe's economic is in total meltdown because Zimbabwe is a pariah state ruled by corrupt, incompetent and vote rigging thugs. No one wants to do business with thugs. The addition of one or two MDC leaders to the Zanu-PF regime will not change the pariah state status of the regime. Chamisa thinks that it will change but is only deluding himself and Mnangagwa!
MDC has been careful never to talk about any strategies or plans because the party could never come up with any coherent strategy or plan much less defend it. All the party has done is come up with wishy-washy proposals, red-line demands which the party itself ignored, etc. It is little wonder MDC has failed to get even one meaningful reform implemented in 20 years.
Zanu-PF has benefited greatly in having a confused, corrupt and incompetent main opposition party, the dictatorship would be history if it was not for MDC's blundering.
"Let me say this once and for all …. I will not talk about strategies and plans on this Twitter platform. So pardon me my dear," twittered Chamisa.
You are hiding behind your little finger Mr Chamisa; I dare you to name just one strategy or plan that MDC has ever produced on any platform in all its 20 year history. Name just one!
MDC is a party led by corrupt and incompetent individuals with no strategy or plan. The real tragedy is that there are many people out there who have been foolish enough to believe the party's bluffing and damned lies. "Vamwe vedu tinongoti makudo namazvere!" as one would say in Shona.
