|
| These are all solvable problems but not if we are squabbling

| With that attitude you're correct

|
| these 2 lies continue to crack me up.
|
| Lets look at it from the other perspective. There are people
| trying to provide alternative options. They are not winning
| because you are not voting for them. There is no excuse, there
| is no one to point to, it is your vote and you cast it. What
| others do should have no influence.
|
| If all the voters really cant make their own decisions, if they
| really cant think for themselves: Then you would provide a
| major example by doing your own thinking and making your own
| choices. They would all follow like the sheep they are
| portrayed as by these lies.
|
| if non of that makes sense, maybe those ignorant enough to
| provide alternative options deserve your support in their
| futile effort? it seems the honorable thing to do
