I am as fed up with do-nothing liberal RINOs as anyone, but you have to think logically about this. The way to fight RINOs is by running conservative candidates and voting for them in the PRIMARIES. That’s how we got Ted Cruz, among others. Once we get to a general election, however, the only logical choice is to vote for the Republican, period.
Voting third party or not voting at all in a general election is not going to “teach the establishment Republicans a lesson”, and it will certainly guarantee a result that none of us want, namely ensuring that the Democrats have enough representatives to constitute a ruling majority. Unless you have a plan to create a viable alternative party (which I would welcome, by the way), the only rational plan is to attempt to purify the party in the primaries while voting party line in the general. Anything else is just emotionalism in action, which I thought was a liberal, not conservative trait.
Find me a single flaw in this logic.
“If you keep doing the same thing for 30 years and end up with a more liberal party than when you began, who is now fully supportive of leftist policies on immigration/borders/homosexuality/marriage ect, you should stop doing that”
Just one.
