Just like if you decided to rip your ballot up into tiny pieces. That would also be your right.

Yes, that would be my right. But I'm not doing that. I'm exercising my right to vote for who I want to vote for.

I guess exercising your right is more important to you than defending democracy.

Do you hear yourself tho? You are trying to bully me into voting for who YOU want to win.

I AM defending and practicing democracy; I'm voting for who I want to win.

Democracy is voting for who you want to win. Even if it's republican. Even if it's democrat. Even if it's 3rd party.

That's democracy.

You talk about defending democracy, but right now you are being against it by trying to bully me into voting for your candidate.

You really want me to vote democrat? Well, as soon as there is a democrat I want to vote for, I will.

I'm actually independent. I don't vote just out of party loyalty.

That's fucking democracy, bub. You seem to be against democracy if it involves people not voting the way YOU want them to vote.

Think about that.

Calling me a bully for your insecurity is trolling. Blocked.

Maybe your "friends" will see reason even if you don't.
