How could John Brennan's 1976 Communist Party presidential vote have been a mere protest - as the politcal-media establishment is telling us?

Per Wikipedia (an all these sources): "In 1976, he voted for Communist Party USA candidate Gus Hall in the presidential election; he later said that he viewed it as a way "of signaling my unhappiness with the system, and the need for change.""

1) BUT also from the above Wikipedia LINK, we know he was born and graduated HS in North Bergen, NJ and then attended Fordham till graduation in 1977.

2) Since Fordham (Bronx, NY) is 13.5 from North Bergen and he 'rode a bus to class at Fordham' we can be certain he lived and voted in NJ in 1976:

3) Below is the ballot for United States presidential election in New Jersey, 1976 (from everipedia.org/wiki/)
Republican 		Gerald Ford 
Democratic 		Jimmy Carter 
Independent 		Eugene McCarthy
Libertarian 		Roger MacBride
American Independent 	Lester Maddox
Socialist Labor 	Julius Levin
Communist 		Gus Hall 
U.S. Labor 		Lyndon LaRouche
Socialist Workers 	Peter Camejo
People's 		Margaret Wright
Prohibition 		Ben Bubar 
Socialist 		Frank Zeidler 
If Brennan merely meant his vote as a protest of the two-party system, why didn't he choose any of the other NINE fringe party candidates rather than single out the Communist party of Gus Hall for his approval? Why didn't Jimmy Carter's & Stansfield Turner's CIA ask in 1980? Why has it not been asked of him since?

Instead he gets into the CIA, eventually becomes it's director , is now in the lead of a "resistance" to overthrow the elected president of the US... and lectures real Americans on "patriotism." If this was a movie script it would be rejected as totally unbelievable.

Nice analytical commentary.
