Reply #32: couldn't we vote for a third party based on intellect, research, and principles [View All]

[mdmc]

I mean, I really opposed this Iraq war, war with Iran, and the drug war (also NCLB, free trade, lack of universal health coverage, "welfare reform" and "bankruptcy reform". Since my electoral vote will most likely go to a candidate that supports all these things that I oppose, why not vote for a third party that supports the same thing that I do?

I will always vote for the best person. In NYS I know that the Dem will get the electoral vote. Why shouldn't I vote my conscience? What is the harm?
