Voting One's Conscience

[malthaussen]

65. Oddly enough, that may not be true in all cases.

Mendacity and confusion aside, one interesting thing that has emerged from this thread is that some voters are of the opinion that Mr Trump is not the greatest evil, that there may be a candidate who opposes him who is assessed as worse. That position is not viable under the ToS, however, which may be why it is so infrequently seen here at DU, at least cast in those explicit terms. We may argue about the legitimacy of that assessment at pleasure (although I doubt we would have much argument), but it does suggest that confusion of conscience with narcissism is not the only explanation for the position.
