There’s No Such Thing As A Protest Vote

Yet nothing will change if people are repeatedly told that their opinion doesn’t matter. This election has been the biggest example of growth for the third party voter this Constitutional Republic has ever seen. And if whoever is elected is truly as bad as their opposition says they are, no doubt the third party will win next time. But the age old argument that trying to break the status quo is just wasting your time is exactly what they want you to believe and nothing will change. People need to vote based on what they believe to be true, not what they think is going to happen. I AM writing in the name of Ted Cruz. Do I think he will win? Absolutely not. But he is my choice for President of the United States. I have no shame in placing my vote in his box. But I would for any person I do not support. You should not be apart of the group that piles on the weight of hopelessness onto the American people. It helps no one but the people we complain about every time we turn on the news.
