The point is it’s the responsibility of the GOP to draw people in with true small government policies, not the responsibility of the people to continuously vote for the lesser of two evils. You can either try to badger third-party voters into voting for the party, or you can retake the party itself.

Garbage.

If you help elect a Marxist, you’re responsible for that act.

Period.

P.S. Your post just repeated your original comment, to wit, the idea that "it's the responsibility of the GOP to draw people in with true small government policies."

So, I'll repeat my comment to you and my questions and hope for an answer this time:

You're kidding, right?

What kind of incentive do Americans need to convince them to not vote for a Marxist?

If people want to live in a welfare state, what Republican could POSSIBLY in any way, shape or form attract their vote?

I am sincerely interested in your answer.

The American people voted for a Marxist and you are claiming if only they'd been offered "true small government policies" they wouldn't have wanted Marxism?

WTH kind of logic is that?

That's like saying people voted for free cotton candy, but they would have voted for broccoli if that had been on the menu.

Again, I would like to know:

What kind of incentive do Americans need to convince them to not vote for a Marxist?

If people want to live in a welfare state, what Republican could POSSIBLY in any way, shape or form attract their vote?

It's not about what was on the "menu," it's about changing Americans' "tastes." No candidate can do that. It's a bigger task than that. We have to already want and be committed to freedom and understand when it is a risk.
