Your just too stupid to realize its a false choice and they are on the same team. You strike me as insane and your posts are completely irrational. Continue being insignificant for the rest of your life thinking your in the cool kids club (Mitt Romney Club - Obama club whatever)..Your not in their club dumbass, they don't care if you starve in a ditch somewhere you dumb sheep.

Allow me to sort this out - Voting on principle, when you know your vote will not effect the outcome of the race in question, is a symbolic action and not a wasted vote. There is nothing wrong with symbolic actions, they are often noble. Likewise, voting for the lesser of two evils is not a cop-out. It is a pragmatic recognition that the future matters, and will be partially determined by the election at hand, so a side is chosen.

Those who can't decide whether to not vote, to cast a symbolic vote, or to vote for the lesser of two evils should ask themselves what impact the symbolic vote will have because such votes have, at times, been noticed. Then they should weigh against that whether their vote for a viable candidate can make a difference. Does it really not matter at all who is elected? Not at all?

How is it pragmatic not to vote for the best candidate and instead vote based on the other candidates?

How can we ever have the best candidate if you vote for lesser than two evils?

If everyone were pairwise voters would anything really change?

If everyone voted based on conscious for the best candidate then we could actually have better Representatives.

By pairwise voting, are you living the change that you want to see in the world, or only worsening the problem?

You should ask yourself, is voting for either one of these assholes worth your vote, or are you just throwing your vote away?

Why vote for corruption and demagoguery when you can vote against it?

Don't you see that you are part of the problem?

No you don't strike me as insane truthfully but you do seem to be naive, to think you are in the "club"...to not realize the Republican guise...Apparently you realize the Democrats but you fail to recognize the game the republicans play. Ultimately they are on the same team, If you don't see this plain as day then I am sorry but you just fucking piss me off and make me curse and call you names sometimes due to this fact that your a blind a sheep falling for their dirty tricks....Deep down it really just saddens me that there are a good handfull like you that think they are also in the club.

Many people see it but they buy into the lesser evil crap...curl up in a ball like little sissies...like I said..be a fucking man...it amazes me sometimes that some of you people have the balls to grow weed...

For me the core thing that drives me to grow and keeps me doing it is the fact that its just the right thing to do. I don't really smoke it or sell it anymore, I don't care to. I just do it because its the right thing to do.

I see. I suppose in your world view, the 99% who think Ron Paul is a joke are the problem, and the 1% of loonies who think they have glimpsed the real truth are the solution, eh?

Regardless of what you think of Ron Paul, you should vote who you think is the best candidate obviously, you shouldn't vote based on blocking candidates, that is stupid. Its people like you that vote the criminals into office, operating under the idea that you must vote for the two party system. If people would stop doing that obviously we would have better politicians. Free competition for candidacy will breed better results, which is obvious to anyone that knows anything about Politics. Help yourself to a book or two.
