So how does it help to not vote republican? Is there a better alternative? I say in the big picture there currently is none. With few exceptions, congress is totally corrupted no matter which party is in control. Too many members' first allegiance is to some other country. Most of them prioritize their own wealth and power over working in the interests of those that they laughingly represent. There's close to nobody honest to vote for. If a person with honesty and/or integrity get elected to an office, he'll get crushed by the special interests and either give in to the corruption or quit. Most won't get that far, they'll get crushed on the way to losing the election. Aside from any possible election rigging, all the majority of the voters want is the most cheap stuff and money they can get as soon as possible, damn the consequences. They eagerly believe the lies that they're fed. They may never wake up, but if they ever do, we'll first have to go a lot deeper into the hole than we are now. Then it's either the pitchforks win, or the corrupt establishment wins.
Vote republican=country marches to death in the current direction.
Don't vote republican=country marches to death in a different direction.
Which direction do you like better?
