He then laid out specific reasons to absolutely justify what he said. The two hour show is on Youtube but only the first half hour deals with this issue. |

(OP) User ID: 68373023 United States 03/10/2016 07:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't see how it helps anything. That's like asking do you care if I become a Nihilist? Is voting supporting their system? We all know our government is corrupt, is it moral to take part in their system? I don't know that voting is corrupt in and of itself, I'm just saying we shouldn't confuse voting with rebellion, and that's what we seem to be doing a lot lately. I'm NOT advocating Rebellion, I'm just saying we should use each tool for it's purpose.

Anonymous Coward 03/10/2016 07:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Protest votes! Gotta love them. But are ballot boxes really the place to protest, or are they the place to try and forward your ideology? Quoting: Saddletramp I ask this genuinely, because Protest votes have historically elected the worst Leaders and Tyrants possible. And every time the USA has one of these "Protest" votes we seem to get dragged deeper into the hole. You see the problem is you go to the ballot box to use the system, to protest against the system, by making an outsider, an insider... Let me explain. Some of us probably remember 1994, huge influx of new Freshmen Congressmen all elected by Republicans to institute "Term Limits". 22 Years later we don't have Term Limits, but we still have some of those Congressmen who were elected to institute those Term Limits. You see there's a reason those Term Limits never quite got done; because those "Outsiders", are now the "Insiders" we're bitching about. Now we want to protest that exact sort of thing by doing the exact same thing we did in 1994. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. You cannot vote in a Rebellion! Because you cannot use the system to destroy the system. And an outsider is only an outsider until he's sworn in... The Ballot Box is no place to protest the system, hell it's practically a shrine to the System! The Ballot Box is where we compare our ideologies, then the people choose which Ideology is the best to take this country forward. That's why issues matter. Nobody is going to tear down a building while they're standing inside it... And don't tell me about Sampson, because he died in the end, and I haven't seen a Candidate out there yet that I think is willing to die for us, and history has shown that's the level of commitment it takes to try and take on this system from the inside. So here's to November 8, 2016. That day we will all flock to that ultimate shrine of our democratic republic, The Ballot Box, and use democracy to protest democracy... A protest vote is a waste of time. Save your gas and time. The Dem talking points are to convince everyone that their votes don't matter. That's bullshit. I'm voting for the outsider...Mr. Trump :trump4prez: |

I was too young to ever vote for Reagan. But I grew up with him as President. My first chance to vote was Bush vs Dukakis. I voted Libertarian because I thought George HW was a carpetbagger Yankee, I was naive, but I was right. So I've never gotten to vote for a Republican candidate for office except Bob Dole against Clinton. Every other time I voted Libertarian or wrote in Ron Paul... Honestly I think Local and State elections are more important anyway...
