    But in a democracy, I also have the right to critique your choices and explain why mine are superior.

    Absolutely. And vice versa.

      That’s right. You’re not mad either, right?

      Anyway, I don’t find your case for third party voting to be persuasive. Maybe that’s why the vast majority Americans think voting third party is an inferior choice.

        I’m not mad at all.

        Anyway, I don’t find your case for third party voting to be persuasive. Maybe that’s why the vast majority Americans think voting third party is an inferior choice.

        I’m not trying to persuade you or anyone else; I’m simply stating why I’m voting third party.

        The opinions of the majority don’t influence my reasoning—I’m voting based on my personal values.

        About half of the country won’t be voting for Democrats either, and that’s just a side effect of democracy.

        People have the right to choose the candidate who best represents their views, regardless of popular opinion.

          It’s true. Half the country isn’t going to protect women’s rights. The half you’re in.

          Anyway I’m not worried. My half will win without you.

            The half you’re in.

            Not true at all. I have been fighting to protect women’s rights longer than you have been alive, friend.

            Good, then no reason to be upset then. So we can totally be friends now! :)

              Doubtful. I’m pretty old.

              But regardless of what you’ve done in the past, you now find yourself in the half that will not protect women’s rights.

              No reason to be upset then. So we can totally be friends now!

              Of course.

                Betcha I’m still older. But at least it’s nice to meet another grandfather on here!

                you now find yourself in the half that will not protect women’s rights.

                Not true.
