In elections for our State Governor, I have voted for candidates from outside the mainstream.
I then get into the argument with others after I express this that, "Oh, all you did was throw your vote away. Your vote was meaningless. Your vote stole votes from so and so, and put the other person in office."
(Meaning the candidate the person saying these things didn't like)
While I understand their thinking on this, I refuse to accept it.
Apparently, it is so much better to compromise what you believe in and fall in line with the other sheeple.
Agreed.
