You didn't ask me but here is my take - I am done voting "against". Either I vote "for" or I leave that slot blank. For all those who disagree and want to tout the "your non vote will help the other side", I won't even attempt to out argue you. It would be fruitless.

I have simply come to the point in my life that I am done supporting a party just because they aren't the "other party".

And that is my choice to make, just as others have the right to their choices.

Pragmatism has taken all principle from the plate. And the foul after taste of pragmatism has destroyed my palate.

So it’s all about you, eh. You have no qualms about condemning your neighbors and family to life under Hillary, as long as you can jut your jaw out and swagger whilst shouting “I vote my principles! I am through caring about denying power to evil in America! All that matters is that I feel good.”

Enjoy your year feeling good. Your family will forgive you. Maybe.

Hear, hear!

I've decided to set a threshold for who I'll vote for. The more disgusted I get with politicians, the higher that threshold will get, but right now it's pretty low. I'd vote for most of the Republicans in the general election, even some real fruitcakes like McCain.
