re: If you do not plan to vote because of some perceived moral issue about a candidate....

If you don't think Paxton can beat Talarico, then the election is just a formality, because Cornyn lost to Paxton by over 20 points. There was no way he would have beaten Talarico.

Also with Cornyn losing, it also shed light on many "so called" Convervative Republicans (Bushes, Rove, etc) who said they were voting for Talarico, who goes against all of the basic conservative tenants we have. So regardless of who wins tomorrow, Bush, Rove and others lost even more respect of mine (not that there was much left anyway) by their antics around Talarico.

If they were different evils, I would tend to agree. One just makes our trajectory hit rock bottom faster.

They are the same evil, as they are owned by outside influence by either blackmail or threats of violence, or just plain ole greed.

If I don't eat at McDonalds or Burger King, it's because I don't want trash food at the moment.

There is no moral high-ground for those who vote for the same non-American interests by voting red or blue.

I am at the acceptance phase of my life for where we are headed. That's the first step to actually fix problems. We don't control who is nominated. And the ones elected are absolutely not beholden to us.

Then complain that you didn't get a candidate that you wanted to vote for. No one will care.

You literally made this thread to cry about such people which demonstrates you care greatly.

And now you just think you're slick by pretending otherwise, even though your real care and motives are exposed.

That's why our country fricking sucks, dumb logic like this.

So, we should vote for the "greater of two evils"?

What country would you like to live in instead?

Just because you don't get everything you WANT when you WANT it, and for Free, doesn't mean this country sucks.

Don't tell me, you must be a Democrat that wants everything free, right?

(of course, you will reply with the lie of "I'm a lifelong Republican" crap. So, don't bother in replying)

I’m voting against a candidate for governor…..it’s not that I like the other guy but the one I’m voting against is the worse of the two.

The next candidate I vote for in a general election of any sort, who I legitimately think would try to implement MOST of what I might want when in office, will probably be the first.

I often find myself scratching my head wondering when some of these folks think there existed this Golden Age of American politics when they were provided a radically different option than that.

i already voted for the libertarian
if paxton loses by one vote I'll apologize

and I voted for Hunt, not Cornyn

Makes it sort of weird to have you banging the drum so hard and for so long on the notion of "if only Cornyn had won the primary..."

So, you're basically as much "at fault" as anyone you think you might be constantly "calling out" here.
