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.

Re: I'm Voting For An Outsider As A Protest Against The System!!!
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?

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...

No, I'm saying your vote does matter, if you use it in the proper way.


The only way it doesn't matter is if you use it for something it's not designed to do. You don't use a Hand Grenade as a Hammer, you shouldn't use your vote as a protest placard.

Anyway, have fun voting for your Outsider, just remember they become an "Insider" as soon as they're sworn in...

Elections in this country were established by men who had just obtained Freedom from a Monarch 2,000 miles away. They were not a new principal, but never before had they been put to use the way they had in the United States Constitution. It's yet another thing that our Founding Father's did that has been corrupted in some ways, how many things in our Constitution can we say that about?

We no longer have a democratic republic.

We are an oligarchy, as evidenced by the massive, synchronized movement by the media, entrenched politicians, tech CEOs and other power people to prevent the citizens who are Trump supporters from voting for their clear choice. I guess you have been busy, but they are trying to "sway" the election.

At present, democratic republic stuff belongs in the nostalgia threads. We, the citizens, are engaged in an effort to monkey wrench the oligarchy so that we can, with divine assistance, cobble together something that resembles what we once had, and lost.

Elections were established by the Overlords to give the Mass a feeling of choice. It was learned that a large Mass will self detonate if it is not periodically relieved of pressure. Lots of Rah Rahs for the right choice. Steam off. Everyone goes home disgruntled but back to work Monday.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69088996


Elections in this country were established by men who had just obtained Freedom from a Monarch 2,000 miles away. They were not a new principal, but never before had they been put to use the way they had in the United States Constitution. It's yet another thing that our Founding Father's did that has been corrupted in some ways, how many things in our Constitution can we say that about?
 Quoting: Saddletramp


yeah elections on paper, paper like the constitution, are all well in good.

in real life, elections are like you say, totally corrupted.

this is how they corrupted elections

“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy”

(Georgetown University Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966.)

What happened to Mr. Cruz? You were campaigning hard for him just a couple of days ago.

I'm Philosophizing tonight...we're talking about the General Principal of voting in a democratic republic...
 Quoting: Saddletramp


We no longer have a democratic republic.

We are an oligarchy, as evidenced by the massive, synchronized movement by the media, entrenched politicians, tech CEOs and other power people to prevent the citizens who are Trump supporters from voting for their clear choice. I guess you have been busy, but they are trying to "sway" the election.

At present, democratic republic stuff belongs in the nostalgia threads. We, the citizens, are engaged in an effort to monkey wrench the oligarchy so that we can, with divine assistance, cobble together something that resembles what we once had, and lost.

If that's true, which I agree with you to some extent, then the ballot box is definitely not the place to look to fix it...

all the people trying to sway the election are fools like everyone else who think the election isn't rigged.

those at the very top, sit back comfortably knowing it doesn't matter who wins because those at the very top, rig the elections so no matter who wins, those at the very top win.

"From 1928-72, nine out of twelve Republican Presidential nominees were CFR members. From 1952-72, CFR members were elected four out of six times. During three separate campaigns, both the Republican and Democratic nominee were, or had been a member. Since World War II, practically every Presidential candidate, with the exception of Johnson, Goldwater, and Reagan, have been members."
