Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said Wednesday he would “absolutely not” vote for former President Trump over President Biden in November, pointing to Trump’s foreign policy views and his character.
“No. No, no, absolutely not,” Romney told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source” when asked whether he would support Trump over Biden.
Romney explained there are “two factors” — policy and character — he is using to decide “who I want to have as the leader of my country and the person who is the example of the president for my kids and my grandkids.” He said are both vital but that character is most important.
The trouble with not voting for someone because you don’t like them is that it’s indistinguishable from any number of other positions. You aren’t influencing any form of change.
If you’re not going to vote for either candidate, vote for a 3rd party. Your vote will still have just as little effect on the outcome of the two horse race, but at least it will more clearly portray your position.
This isn’t debate club. In this election, there are two real choices. It sucks but many folks need to get it together and vote for what they want to see less( i.e. if you hate trump, vote Biden, even if you don’t love Biden)
I don’t want this country to continue to slip into Alabamian christiostate, and although it’s a mess right now, Biden is the better bet to forestall or reverse that.
Compulsory RCV when
I didn’t say that wasn’t my position. That’s what people should do, because the alternative is worse.
However, if you’re not going to vote at all, that is worse than both of those but also worse than voting for a 3rd party candidate.
