"I'm not some sheep that's going to vote for Hillary just because..."

"...she's the lesser of two evils! That's what dumb sheep do! I'm voting for Gary Johnson, because he's the lesser of three evils!"

I personally know more than person subscribing to this insane logical hypocrisy. It's infuriating.

And many people have a personality type that consists of a negative stance towards reality. These people will never be able to vote for Hillary Clinton, and they will see their refusal as a symbolic gesture of Purity and superiority over everyone else.

Which is fine with me.

He stressed over and over that there was no difference between the two parties, which convinced millions of people to vote for him instead of Gore.

We then got 8 years of Bush and his disastrous policies. I hope enough people remember the hard lesson from that election when they go to the voting booth this year. A Trump presidency must NEVER happen.
