Nelson, you imply that if I were in a swing state I would have been helping another candidate. That isn't the way democracy works. One votes for the person one wants to see in office and others are free to do the same. It is a fallacy that when I vote for the one I want in office I am "really" voting for someone else.
No. This point of view only indicates that the person voicing it wants to blame another voter for not voting in the way the person wishes. It is the desire to place guilt on someone who is not guilty of anything. But the two parties love to put this out to protect the candidates THEY, not the people, have chosen to present as candidates.
I dont place blame on voters. I might disagree with them, like I just did. People think that voting is everything and how you vote says everything about you personally or your politics. I dont agree with this either. Yes winning elections is very important and during electoral periods we should encourage people to move to our side. If we lose, our work doubles, if we win our work doubles. That is the nature of politics. I hope this clarifies what you implied from my response.
I agree with you voting position if you werent in a swing state.
