A Wasted Vote and a Wasted Voice

Dave Kupelian and Paul Craig Roberts both fall for the same trap. Oh, no, one candidate is so bad that you have to vote for the other!!
This is simply what the people in power want you to believe, so that they can continue to screw you.
People who proclaim that we need to continue to vote for the lesser of two evils so as to prolong the time we have to save the country ignore the fact that the two major parties are NO acting in good faith. Once they know that they can get your vote automatically, they will ignore you.
I will leave it up to my readers to decide who among those who have advocated not voting third party are sincere (i.e. they have been tricked) and who actually know what they are doing and are trying to neutralize those who would buck the system (I may offer my opinion on his at some later date when I have more time to think about it, though). (I am referring here only to those people who consider both candidates morally deficient but advocates voting for them anyway; someone who actually agrees with one for the major party candidates more than with any of the third parties is a different issue entirely.
