"Wasting one's vote" ------> guilty of saying such.
My eyes have been opened. Although I do not see, in the foreseable future, any vote I may cast would do any immediate good (i.e., odds of actually electing that person), by "wasting my vote," I am: 1) empowering leaders to leave other parties to join one that represents strong ethical views/patriotic principals and/or 2) sending a signal to those who will not leave the Republican party to take strong note of the direction in which the people are moving....hopefully causing them to change their views. (But I don't know if that would ever happen).
I don't know if it would ever happen, either, but it's worth a try.
