I Voted Today

[phill4paul]

I often wonder how I ended up in this 'movement,' with people such as yourself.

In real life, I wouldn't even talk to someone like you.

But, as I was telling phill, this horrible form of government we have forces us to try to form a majority.

So...here we are.

There. Is. No. Majority. Not for people like most on these forums. Otherwise there would have been a Ron Paul presidency. There will NEVER BE a majority because, as the OP is fond, and correctly so, of saying...nobody WANTS freedom. Those that do not want it...that is your majority. Swim against the rip tide brother. Only a few more strokes. Just keep swimming.

[Danke]

No Vermin Supreme write-in? $#@! you, sailor. :P

Sailors don't brush and hate ponies.

He was on the VS bandwagon a few months ago, though...

I left the vast majority of the ballot blank. I'm a permanent resident of and registered to vote in a place where I'm not actually living right now, and I can't in good conscience vote for local officials who aren't actually local to me. That's just inflicting those morons on someone else without having to endure them myself.

(Most of them were running unopposed anyway)

I rarely vote for someone unopposed , all they have to do is vote for themselves .

Well, there it is. And that condescension shows through clear and bright. In reality you're just another flavor of statist.

Does seem like a bit of a waste of time and money to bother with it at all. And for what? Is the township library board going to throw themselves a larger party because they got 200 votes this year instead of 100?

I skip most of the smaller offices since I have no idea who any of those people usually are.

You overestimate the voter.

They don't want anything very precisely.

It's about what they can be made to want, by the media.

...temporarily.

...till election day



We have a natural disadvantage ($$$) in this game, but it's the only viable option.

If you feelz that way. /shrug.

[Jamesiv1]

People that don't vote are lazy $#@!s and do not deserve any Libertah.

How can you have any Libertah if you don't get out and vote?

They can spend as much money as they want advertising their $#@!ty Nintendo Switch.

I will NEVER buy that piece of $#@!.

NEVER.

+rep voting is our best chance of making real meaningful change

Suppose we throw in 3 Whopper coupons and an extra vote (!) in November..

[TheTexan]

I wouldn't buy it even if it was free.

I have principles, ya know.

Without principles... it'd be, well.. anarchy.

Stop hugging me!

Stop hugging me!

sadz. :'( You seem like you need hugs, though, Mr Crankypants.

I say AF gets into the new blockchain voluntary economy. Nice work, AF. Now to simply implement the new blockchain voluntary economy and reap the rewards.

Lots of potential blockchain-ers in this thread.

Some of the other folks... er, uh, well, there's always the global FRN economy to control/take down with a majority, have fun with that. Call it a win/win. That way, no uncomfortable associations with "non voters" are necessary.

Voluntary blockchainers vying for bragging rights with their ledgers, and what they do for the folks associated with their particular group.
Sounds like an expressway to liberty. Hopefully the "real voters" don't mess this up for the "non voters".

Government? I'm pretty sure there's an app for that...

[Anti Federalist]

Well, that's fairly pointless, accomplishes nothing, you'd have done better for the cause to vote LP, but at least you didn't vote Trumpenfuhrer.

You get neither merits nor demerits.

Not looking for merits or demerits, accolades nor Bronx cheers.

I will rest easy tonight, that is all I care about.

[Anti Federalist]

You say with your typed word. But, your eyes say something different. Just saying it ain't enough. You've got to believe it.

2+2=5

Got it.

Freedom is Slavery.

We, as liberals, are supposed to care about more than our own satisfaction..

[Anti Federalist]

We, as liberals, are supposed to care about more than our own satisfaction..

Why?

Are my honor and principles worth nothing?

Nobody on the ballot represents me.

So I wrote in the name of the man who is in the political circle that most closely represents my views.

If that scandalizes you, or HB, or anybody else, well, too bad.

At the end of the day I have to live with myself.

[Anti Federalist]

Sailors don't brush.

[r3volution 3.0]

Why?

Because that's what it means to be a (classical) liberal.

If one just wants to get theirs, hey, the politburo is taking applications, and they live very well.

Are my honor and principles worth nothing?

Your honor and your principles should be driving you to do what you can to maximize the chances of a liberal future.

Voting is a means to an end.

If you have to make distasteful votes to advance liberalism, tough titty.

[enhanced_deficit]

Let's vote harder.

[heavenlyboy34]

People that don't vote are lazy $#@!s and do not deserve any Libertah.

How can you have any Libertah if you don't get out and vote?

Nah, people who don't vote know that voting doesn't matter. It's easy to have libertah without voting if you're clever.

[Jesse James]

I did the same thing! Ron Paul for president!!!
