This kind of voting is what a lot of us have been doing for quite some time on the same rationalization. We are now realizing that it is a swirling sink. Time to step out. NOW.
You only get to vote for, or remain silent. Voting "against" is sophistry, mathematically speaking. Math is reality, FRiend. What you vote for is the only thing that counts. When you vote for McCains (I did, for Palin) and Romneys and Christies and Jebs, you feel like you are voting "against" the Clintons, the Obamas, the nightmares that keep getting worse.
But the only thing that counts is what you are voting for. Voting for somebody who stinks from top to bottom "against" the other guy, is voting for making the GOP more leftist.
When I vote third party in a presidential, I know exactly what I am voting for. Voting "against" is imaginary.
Whether its via the Republican party or some third party independent miracle, America needs a president who represents the side that says shrink government for all that's holy, the side that millions of Americans are yearning to vote for.
I did in fact vote against Clinton both times. I don’t see why that should be considered a less legitimate vote. I’m not really criticizing anyone for not voting, I’m just saying the Democrats are going to win every time if many of us choose that option.
