One person's "wasted vote" is another's tiny voice saying to both parties

"sorry, but these two choices are not good enough to earn my vote." If ever there was a POTUS election needing that message, this is it. I tend to take the lesser of two evils approach too, most times. But at some point, you have to have some principles on what you are willing to support with your vote.

The last VA Gov election was one, as was the '04 POTUS election IMO. Maybe you're not able to fathom that mindset because you can't imagine a lefty you couldn't stomach. But as a rightie, I certainly didn't think W earned my vote in '04 after doing the complete opposite of what he promised in his campaign, and Kooch was too much of an idealogue and anything but conservative with his encroachment on women's wombs IMO. But sorry lefties, if you want to earn my vote as the lesser of two evils, even in golden opportunities like that, you are going to have to offer up better than a mushy Kerry or quintessential political operative like Terry Mac. And certainly better than Hillary.
