Fundamentally disagree with that. If you have an obligation to vote for the least bad candidate that could win, then it's not really fucking voting, is it? It kinda completely goes against the idea of Democracy. Complete and utter horseshit to help politicians avoid accountability.

The most shocking naiveté, and they don't even see it

As a conservative libertarian, I go where my beliefs dictate--just like the left does.
I run on, sorry.
It's the one thing that drives the left batshit, and gives me the most hope. The stifling federal state STOPPED the results of the 2016 election, made the elected POTUS' job impossible.
The guy who wants the federal government as small as possible, and the hell OUT of your way, is by no means a "fascist" of any sort. But don't let definitions bother you. lol!
I'm going to hold you accountable by -not- participating in the only process to hold an elected official accountable.
Kinda makes sense, but problematic if has any weight in final winner count- could lead to endless voting
You did
Go back to the original thread and address the trans people who are telling you exactly how full of shit you are.
