    Understanding that actions have consequences is precisely why I’m voting based on my values rather than out of fear of unintended outcomes. My comment about was my age was in response to the comment implying that I was making a “youthful” mistake.

    The predictable consequence of continually voting for the lesser evil is perpetuating a system that doesn’t truly represent the people’s needs or desires.

    Voting third party is not counterproductive—it’s a conscious choice to push for real change, even if the immediate outcome isn’t a win.

    My decision is based on principles, not obstinance, and I feel comfortable that standing by those principles is the right approach for me and my lifestyle.

    You haven’t changed my mind at all. As I haven’t changed yours. And that’s ok. You have a good day too!
