That’s right, it’s not binary. Yet the fact is that if you don’t vote, you vote with the majority. So someone who didn’t vote for McCain or Romney, as flawed as they were, elected Obama by default.

“Yet the fact is that if you don’t vote, you vote with the majority. So someone who didn’t vote for McCain or Romney, as flawed as they were, elected Obama by default.”

Not meaning offense, but you need to review and understand how the Electoral College works.

We do not elect by popular national vote.

Each State has a vote that determines the Electoral votes received by a candidate. My state distributes its Electoral votes in a winner-takes-all decision. Unless my vote counted for +2 million votes, it would not have changed the outcome of the 2012 election of Obama - or the elections for your other mentioned RINOs.

That said, it is never a binary decision. Especially when the fish are biting. Or any of a thousand other alternatives.

Best.
