If we vote for the best candidates, we are voting for their ideas and we are moving those ideas forward, whether or not the candidates win. Be a strategic, long-term voter. Of tanner, Don't outsmart yourself by spending your one vote in an attempt to keep the worst candidate from winning. America will never get great leaders if we vote that way. The world does not end.
Parties reorganize to attract the emerging blocks of reform voters.
The pressure for real reform continues to build toward the next election, and those who do get elected must look over their shoulders at the growing numbers of voters who demand change. If you are not adding to that block, then you are not investing your vote in your values. Vote for the long term vote your values and be patient. A vote cast in fear for the lesser evil is a vote which evaporates the day after the election. A vote cast in love and passion changes the American political landscape for all history.
