The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing. Voting for someone that you KNOW cannot win is doing absolutely nothing about where this country is going.I ask then... If I can't vote for either candidate that 'can win', what am I supposed to do? And don't say that I should vote for one of them anyway. There is no lesser of two evils here. They are both absolutely abysmal choices, and I will /NOT/ vote for either one of them. Should I not vote at all? I don't think so. So what do I do? Complain loudly? Grab a torch and pitchfork? No, I think I should do my patriotic duty, and vote for who I believe will do the best thing for this country.
