Unless my vote cancels yours.

No. A vote for a third-party candidate that has no chance of winning does not CANCEL votes in the least. If you voted for Kerry, THAT would cancel my vote.

All you're doing with your wasted vote is increasing the likelihood that this country moves even further away from your political beliefs than it already is.

Of course it does. That's how GHW Bush got unelected in 1992. How many votes for GHW Bush counted in 1992 after he lost the election? Not a single one.

No, voting on principles is never a waste. Sometimes, people are even willing to die for their principles. I know this is a foreign concept to a party hack like yourself, but the truth is that Americans do all kinds of things even when there's no chance of winning.

Has electing candidates from your party moved the country closer to your political beliefs or further away? Be honest.
