        OK so who should I have voted for? How do you know that I would vote for the person you demand?

        Why should I give my vote to a party that doesn’t seek it?

          I’m not suggesting you vote either way, just that its really lame to feel superior for not participating in the process.

          I’ve been voting since 1977, and I’ve NEVER voted for a presidential candidate I’ve actually liked. It’s ALWAYS the lesser of two evils. Thats just the way it is, so grow up and accept it.

            When did I ever say I was superior to anybody? I simply said that I refuse to cast a vote for either of these two criminal parties. In my lifetime they haven’t accomplished anything for the public good and have stopped even pretending that they will.

            The only peaceful way to change these parties is for a majority of people to stop voting. We’re getting closer!

              Yeah, the Ostrich Strategy. Everybody should just check out, bury their heads in the sand, and let the criminals have their way. That’ll show’em. Can’t see anything going wrong with that strategy.

              And superior acting people never think they’re acting superior, they just think they ARE superior.
