No quality leaders can ever justify participating in flawed 2028 elections especially after 44 years of rigged elections

Let us be clear on this one thing: Zimbabwe is a failed state, a pariah state, stuck with this corrupt, incompetent, tyrannical and vote rigging Zanu PF regime and its equally corrupt and useless MDC/CCC opposition side-kick. After 44 years of rigged elections, we desperately need to put and end to this double curse of rigged elections and bad governance.
In 2008 Professor Jonathan Moyo said Mugabe would lose that year's elections to a donkey in that was the alternative on the ballot paper. He was right, he was underlining just how desperate the people were for change. Morgan Tsvangirai was the alternative on the ballot paper and he lost that elections and all subsequent elections to Mugabe. Chamisa has been losing similar elections to Mnangagwa. Why?
We all know the answer why; Zanu PF rigs elections!
The people of Zimbabwe have risked all to elect MDC/CCC leaders for one primary purpose and one only - to implement the necessary democratic changes to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections, as the party name implied Movement for Democratic Change.
Alas, after 24 years on the political stage including the 5 years in the GNU, Chamisa and company have not only failed to implement even one token reform but worst of all they have been conning the people to participating in flawed elections because they, MDC/CCC leaders, have devised strategies of winning rigged elections.
In 2018 Chamisa told the people MDC A would win the elections because the party "had stringent measures to stop Zanu PF rigging the elections." Last year it was the same thing, CCC would win big because he "had plugged all the Zanu PF vote rigging loop holes. #Godisinit!" It was all bulls***t of course, because Zanu PF continued to blatantly rigged elections.
And now "Revolutionary Greeting" Comrade Ngqabutho Mabhena, in his latest youtube video, is telling us the opposition can defeat vote rigging Zanu PF in 2028 if they have party structure! A donkey would defeat Mnangagwa or whoever is the regime's candidate in 2028 IF the elections are free, fair and credible. The operative phrase is elections MUST BE free, fair and credible. The donkey will have no party structures nor would it need any!
The tragedy for Zimbabwe is that millions of Zimbabweans believe these MDC/CCC idiotic lies of winning rigged elections strategies and participate in flawed elections only to give vote rigging Zanu PF legitimacy and thus perpetuate the curse of bad governance and the nation's suffering.
After 44 years of Zanu PF rigged elections, the last 24 years of which with MDC/CCC connivence, we should have the common sense of focusing on implementing the reforms and end this madness of pretending we will ever have good governance from a vote rigging autocracy. We cannot make a silk purse our of a sower's ear.
If we want good governance then we must restore democracy and the rule of law and holding free, fair and credible elections is a key tenet of democracy and rule of law. The very idea the nation should hope to win rigged elections is itself preposterous because it accepts that Zanu PF has the right to disregard the rules and laws governing the conduct of elections, to rig elections!
Last year the idiotic lie to justify participating in flawed elections was "plugged all the vote rigging loop holes" in 2028 it is "we have party structures". How nauseating!
