By voting against someone you fear, instead of for someone you want, you're playing defense. No war has ever been won by fighting defensively.mgood wrote:This illustrates why I am not a fan of either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party.
I generally see the Democratic Party as the greater threat. And the best way I know to fight Democrats is to support Republican candidates. That certainly doesn't mean I agree with everything the Republicans push.
If I thought the Libertarians had a snowball's chance, I'd back them more than I do.
I even saw that within the GOP primary. There was a lot more worry about who was "electable", and who could beat the Democrat, than about who had the best vision and the strongest devotion to the GOP platform.
I have quit voting against anyone. I will only vote for someone now.
