People aren't voting leftist, they are voting against the government that has been fucking people over for the past fifty years with it's refusal to protect industry, hold back free trade, take actual action on things like global warming, and generally has left the middle class in the dust while regulations have served to serve companies rather than citizens. This comparison is apt. A company can export labor overseas, but if I wanted to buy medical products from those nations, I cannot. Regulations serve companies, make their products and lives easier, while making our own lives harder. I have athasma. Thanks to corporations lobbying for non-cfc-exceptions and creating a patent, the inhalers I need cost 50 dollars rather than 7. If I could buy overseas I could get them for 5. This is why I will not support hillary, why I wanted to vote for Sanders, and why I will vote for Johnson. We either regulate correctly, or stop regulating. Either way betters the system, but we can't keep taking this middle ground. I am not a liberal. I do not vote "left". I vote for what I think will better this nation, and Hillary will not.
Even though you know he has absolutely zero chance of winning?and why I will vote for Johnson
I'd much rather throw away my vote and absolve myself than be behind Clinton or Trump. As well, if Johnson wins, or denies majority delegates, I get to vote for the person who caused real election reform in the US when the house puts trump into office.
Except from a moral standpoint, that's not how it works IMO. This is so wildly improbable that it's really not worthy of consideration.I'd much rather throw away my vote and absolve myself than be behind Clinton or Trump.
As well, if Johnson wins
