"There are a lot more people in this country that describe themselves as libertarian than vote libertarian," says Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. "You are a libertarian. How about voting just this way one time."

I made this the other day when talking to a friend about voting for Johnson;  I'm getting so sick of the "throwing your vote away" argument...  so stupid.

Option A will increase the deficit at a marginally slower pace than option B, though, while also jamming a whole lot of extra religion-based government down our throats.

But why bother even looking at option A, when option C is there?   If you continue to support option A, you're going to continue to get fewer options in the future.   Either accept Option A for what it is or reject it.  Sacrificing principles to maintain the status quo cannot lead to anything positive.

Oh, I'm voting for Johnson, not that it matters.

My only point was "you're throwing away your vote" is just as valid when option C supporters say it to option A or B supporters.

like 42 of the 50 states or something like that have presidential races in which the results are already known with 99+% accuracy.  lol at all of the voters in those states that will be throwing their votes away.

Voting for someone you don't support, because they're more likely to win, is just as much a wasted vote.

It's more of a self-fulfilling prophecy, really.

If my only options are Obama & Romney... I just don't give a crap.
