[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3271634, member: 9374"] I saw a bond issue passed in Tahlequah the other nite, and I was amazed there were only something like 500 votes. For the whole country or city or whatever. I DO get where you are coming from... and you can campaign and be active and vocal in working for the person you want, but if/when that person is knocked out of the race, if you just abstain at that point, you are subverting the process. I get the frustration, and believe me, I do NOT like Donald Trump. He embarrasses the [B]sh|t[/B] out of me with the things he says and does, but I GD'd sure have to cast a vote to nullify someone who is ACTIVELY looking to come and take away my rights and my liberty. You HAVE to choose one or the other, or you're giving the advantage to the one you hate the worst - by refusing to cast a nullifying vote. You can still be active, still speak out against their specific policies or actions you dislike (like Trump's personality, his philandering, his divisiveness and his narcissism), but we have to DO something to try to change things. Sitting back and sitting on your hands will only GUARANTEE your voice will not be heard, your vote not counted, and - eventually - your rights taken away. I'm sorry, man... I used to feel just like you. I agree with you to a LARGE extent. But I hate seeing this country go down the tubes, and unless we're wanting to increase the onset so we can just get it on and get down to the fight (and yes, some people really do WANT this, asinine as it seems), that's what we've got to do.
