JUst do like I have done. Say no to the GOP. I am voting conservative even if it means I vote for 3rd party candidates. I could care less about a party. They GOP and the DNC vote alike. They are one and the same.
Your sentiment, going Conservative even for losing candidates, if it gets to be mainstream and pervasive, would of necessity lead to war or permanent tyranny. It is indicative that the ballot box no longer has any use, and other means, if any, are the only option.
Yes, they are—a party of incumbents, protecting their perks, health care, and personal wealth accumulation.
