Sometime that’s enough!
To me voting has two components:
1. A candidate you wish to give power to,
2. A candidate who under NO circumstances do you want them to have power.
Ideally you’re motivated solely by item 1. Sometimes its a combination of the two. For me in the cases of Zero & Hellary it was item 2.
I view weakness very negatively. Most R’s exemplify it and therefore don’t provide much in the way of motivation to vote for them. I suppose, however, that voting for people who do nothing and/or endlessly seek “bipartisanship” as an excuse to do the opposite of what they said they would do can be justified as the lesser of two evils.
If you give some serious thought to the range of consequences stemming from an oversized and overbearing government you may come to the conclusion (as I have) that the only people really worth voting for would be those who are committed to downsizing government and upsizing the individual. I firmly believe that the bigger government gets the smaller the individual is. There is a singular solution to this.
The problem, unfortunately, is that both parties love big government. If a new party were to arise that subscribes to our founding principles (i.e., limited government) it would offer millions of disaffected voters a new choice. JMHO
