Stop and thin, Norm. That is what has made those of us who vote based on principle and not personality who we are, to some degree.
Personalities have consistently disappointed. Principles remain steadfast.
The Founders knew this, and we are ever reminded, if we just pay attention. Too many people looking for Pokemon, or a free ride, or something this year.
Oh I agree. Completely. I'd also add: "Too many people that think the founders were wrong."
Because as often as I bring it up to people making excuses for voting in evil, and as often as they avoid the issue, either the founders were wrong or they are. It just comes down to situational ethics. They FEEEEEElllllL that their situation is special, they deserve a star and that principle is something you can put on hold.
Of course they ALSO FEEEEEElllllLLLLLL that 'this election is just too dangerous/important/world altering". But they said that last time. And the time before. And every time they were smarter than the founders and put principle on hold.
Strangely, none of them seem aware that Washington and Co. put actual life on the line and some of them lost it. their families lost theirs. They lost everything and knowing that could happen did not deter any of them.
But these special snowflakes can't find the courage to vote anon in a booth. Gutless cowards. Every last one of them.
