What you are describing is political practices that are common today with every political party, and nothing unique only to the "liberals". Or do you claim that conservatives do not do these things due to their political ideology?

@sfxedit, given that I'm arguing that the liberals seek to control all options on the ballot, why shouldn't it be common to every party? Your "conservatives" are frequently just ordinary liberals, provoking a fuss over some trivia amongst themselves (both to manufacture the appearance of choice, and to distract), whilst joining in violent rejection of anything like socialist reform.

You sidestepped my question completely - do you claim that conservatives (whether ordinary liberals or otherwise) don't do these things too to capture power or preserve it?

@sfxedit, I didn't sidestep the question, I attacked it head on by denying the validity of the distinction you're making between "conservatives" and liberals. If the resulting question was only whether the liberals really do what my answer already said they do - infest all major parties and attack the availability of any other option on the ballot - then my position hasn't changed.
