    So you know all the reasons why what you choose to do is wrong but do it anyway?

    Gotta show em this is what happens when they are ignored.

    You already admitted that’s not what you are actually accomplishing but I guess lying to yourself makes you feel better.

        If voting Democrat isn’t going to change anything, voting third party is definitely not going to change anything. Might as well make the higher percentage play, which is voting Democrat.

          Sure. Keep up the defeatism. It’s what those in power want. This is probably the only American thing I will never understand.

            The only ones peddling defeatism here are the ones advocating for the greater evil because the aren’t getting everything they want.

            You want to give up, throw your vote away voting for some third party crank and somehow I’m the defeatist? I want some of whatever you’re smoking because it sounds really strong.

              I can’t continue with this line of reasoning. You are the one whos equating voting third party with not voting and apathy. Nothing will change in the States. Never ever.

                Somehow I think I’ll find the strength to carry on without your brilliant wisdom to guide the way.
