Thank you for confirming the soundness of my reasoning - because my math in this case is infallible.
Yes - a vote, by its very nature, can be cast for and against. If we had unlimited votes to give, this would not be the case. But casting a vote for one candidate rewards that candidate and it deprives the other candidate(s) of that vote.
In this case, I am voting FOR the destruction of the gop. The more dangerous and dishonest of the two parties. They claim to hold my values, but fail to act upon them, and usually act more like the dems. The dems, on the other hand, are honest about their socialist beliefs. So I am at least voting for philosophical integrity.
The gop is more dangerous because while it lives, it takes resources from true conservative efforts by pretending to be what it is not. There are many parasites in the plant and animal kingdoms that do this very thing. And because of their similarities to the desired species are much harder to eradicate.
You confuse "reasoning" with "rationalization."
