66. My purity dictates that I am too pure to vote in my best interests
Mon Jun 6, 2016, 07:27 PM
Jun 2016

So in order to save my purity I must reject the one party that stands between America and the republican oligarchy, because I read on the internet somewhere that Hillary is bad... Why research it? What I read on the Internet is always right. I hope you Hillary supporters will protect the country while me and the other purists vote Green Party. My purity dictates that others must stay in and fight while I step out of the process and vote for parties that can't win. You see, we all accepted it when Obama declared himself the winner before the convention, but you see, when it's my first choice candidate that loses, the rules must be different to accommodate my frustration. And remember things are much better now than they were under Bush, but continuing his upward trajectory must be denied because my candidate didn't win. All or nothing is the only way.
