Keep voting for leftists with intent to vote "against" worse leftists. You will get leftism, you will empower leftism, and you will weaken limited government conservatism.

The vote is functional. You advocate voting for functional leftists and argue that their court appointees would be "better" than the functional leftists you voted "against."

When those Republican leftists get in office and advance the left agenda with your sanction and approval because your vote PUT THEM IN OFFICE, will you be here wailing that you didn't vote for that, you voted "against" the Democrats? One thing -- you will fail to be accountable for what you voted FOR.

If my vote for a limited government third-party candidate creates a plurality win for either a Romney-style Republican or a Hillary-style Democrat, that will be something worth voting FOR because it will weaken leftism in both parties. If miracle happened and the limited government third party candidate won on a plurality, so much the better. I am happy to be accountable for any of it.
