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.
Thats because they WANT socialism. they simply refuse to say what their actions, votes and fighting viciously for liberals shows.
I mean if not, it would be patently stupid to try claiming that fighting to get liberal republicans into positions of power was a conservative thing to do. And really how utter MINDLESS would one have to be to try passing that off on a conservative website?
Oh wait....nevermind.
and you wasted your vote - and I’m sorry - but Johnson was an embarrassing joke. You think you’re smart, but you wasted your vote on an idiot.
How’s that taste for “principle” -
