For the first time in my life in 2012, after more than 30 years of voting straight Republican ticket, I voted third party in the Presidential race. Voting for tyranny as the price of voting "against" tyranny is a losers' game.
I had no use for the GOP after they thought it was a good idea to nominate Dole to take on Clinton.
Since then, I've advocated for 3rd parties. (And, yes, I'm well aware of the challenges, especially the Electoral College).
