In reply to the discussion: Judge strikes down Nevada’s 'none' voting option [View all]A Simple Game
(9,214 posts)The funny thing is the first time Owens ran, a tea party candidate primaried the Republican candidate and beat her. The Republican candidate he beat was much more liberal than Owens and I probably would have voted for her. That's the kind of Republicans we have here, except for the newer ones. Owens by the way was the first Democrat Representative elected in my district since around the Civil War.
I don't see any problem with people that voted for Nader, nor do I see a problem with anyone that would vote for "none of the above". The problem isn't the people that vote, it's all the people that are in the same boat we are and don't vote for.
But it wouldn't be America if the only people allowed to run for office were limited to the two major parties. And if the only people you could vote for were members of those same parties, it wouldn't be America, would it?
