Oh and for the record,I really thought the election was lost at the VP debate.Ryan certainly lost my
vote and I ended up voting for Goode and Clymer of the Constitution Party.
Absolutely nothing personal against you ML, but this is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. In my mind, you not only wasted your vote, but by doing so you in effect SUPPORTED the very candidate you least supported. This isn’t rocket science, and it certainly applies equally to both sides because if people hadn’t voted for Ross Perot in 92 Bill Clinton would have lost, and if people hadn’t voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 George Bush would have lost. The American system does NOT, EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES allow for three parties to exist without one of them automatically winning by default. So by voting for Goode rather than Romney, you might as well have voted for Obama because the end result is the same.
Again, I mean absolutely nothing personal against you ML, and this is all just my opinion.
Yep Ross Perot screwed us twenty years ago, but it wasn’t really Nader in 2000. It was more because of Pat Buchanan, who people accidentally voted for instead of Gore. Of course, as these people were Democrats, they were stupid enough not to understand the ballot their party designed in the first place.
Seriously, everybody is complaining about ballot from the election we just had, comparing it to the SAT. People should do their research beforehand, no excuses. My Supervisor of Elections office even mails out sample ballots.
