Yes, one of them being that I will vote against whoever violates my principles the MOST - even if that is an unsatisfactory choice.
For your tiny brains info, that’s making an adult choice, not compromising on ones principles. Your self righteousness is nauseating and ends up screwing YOU more than anyone else. No, I don’t expect you to understand what I just said.
So... you in my example I’m putting forth to the thread. You would advocate voting for the speaker of the Texas house even though he sold out conservatives?
So, in other words, you really don't have any principles that are non-negotiable.
What you apparently can't see is that once you've bought into the "lesser of two evils," utilitarian, hegelian deception, the only direction you're going is down, down, down.
And that the only possible way off that inevitable descent is to stop compromising.
But there's no such thing as a vote against
in our system.
To say that there is by appealing to binary logic presupposes things that simply aren't true — namely that there are only two parties/candidates to vote for.
In 2012 Romney was put up as the Republican candidate, and Obama as the Democratic candidate… neither of these were acceptable to me so I voted for Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate and former governor of my State — this was not a vote for Romney, it was not a vote for Obama; had Gary Johnson not appeared I would have written in EternalVigilance.
By constraining yourself to whatever dreck the Republican party throws up (because they're not as bad
as the Democrat) you implicitly vote for every move toward socialism, communism, and stateism that they make.
