No. It is binary. Are you taking the county to the left or are you taking it to the right Are you making us more free or less free. And most importantly, do you know the difference?
Well exactly. If you always vote for the “most” conservative candidate on the ballot,not a perfect candidate who isn't running.
You or I don't pick the candidates we have to choose from normally; we just have the option of picking from 2 choices.
Not sure how you would disagree with me then.
The issue is that many people in this country are not conservative (”yet”, as Rush used to say).
We can't expect ideal candidates to pop up all over and be valid choices to vote for. And I talking about valid candidates; not a 3rd party candidate for example running for president who might get 200 votes.
