Is it worth it to vote for a third party? Because I'm seriously thinking about it. I feel like it is sort of a "lose the battle to win the war" kind of thing. I want to vote. I feel guilty not voting. But I just CANNOT bring myself to vote for one of the two major party candidates. But I could vote for a third party. I'm not telling who or which one. I don't want to get into the debates and ugliness on LJ. But I've found a candidate I could get behind. Is it worthless? I know it will make no difference in THIS election. But the more people are willing to vote their conscience and support third parties the stronger they will become. It seems like they get stronger every election.

I WANT to vote for someone for the first time in months. Should I do it?

because he is for infanticide and partial birth abortion.

Which is evil and murder, even you pro choice types know that birthing a baby stabbing it in the head and sucking its brains out is murder.

I don't think you have any idea whether or not I am pro-choice.

I've been trying really hard to NOT be inflammatory about this. And you don't have to respond, but, at the risk of really bugging Dama, I feel I MUST say this, and that she will understand:

Your comment here truly and deeply offends me. Please do not EVER assume to know my beliefs based on my Livejournal icon EVER again. Your wording "you pro-choice types" is demeaning and belittling, not to mention judgmental and EXTREMELY presumptuous.

I just had to get that off my chest, and I hope that I did so in a respectful way.
