I can't " dictate " anything. Jim Robinson, the owner of this site has stated over and over again that the ONLY way to defeat the Dems, is to vote for Republicans. I too think this is the way to go. Staying home is NOT an alternative; neither is voting for a fringe party. Staying home, or voting for someone who can't win, never has and never shall " punish " , nor " teach a lesson to " the candidate or party one is trying to do that to. All it does, if there are enough doing either/both of thsoe things, is
HELPING TO ELECT THE PERSON ONE LEAST WANTS IN OFFICE . It's as simple as that. If one doesn't understand that, then they don't really belong on a polictical forum, nor imagining that they have any political interest at all.
There is NO political candidate in the history of this nation, who would have / could have fulfilled the wants, desires, and wishes, 100 % ( even 70% ) of the time, of all, or even some of those who voted them into office. It has taken most of the 20th century to get this country to where it is now. The things most of us disagree with, can NOT be changed overnight, nor even in two terms of any GOP president. Those who crave that, are childish and/or really want a dictator; no matter what they might say.
