Judge strikes down Nevada’s 'none' voting option

[NYC Liberal]

35. Yes. And like I said, any state that had enough people who were dumb enough to

elected that many dumb legislators is a state I would avoid at all costs. I think there are very few people dumb enough to actually deny themselves representation.

We don't live in a direct democracy; we live in a representative democracy. That requires representatives who speak on behalf of the people who elect them. If people are denied a representative, then they have no voice in the government.

what the majority say and want as long as it doesn't harm anyone or limit anyone's freedoms, should be the final word

Your caveat is what kills this idea. Not having representation in the government does limit people's rights, some of the most basic ones in a representative democracy. The majority don't get to do whatever they want just because they're the majority.

Yes, it would be worse than being stuck with the person you didn't vote for. A lot worse. I'll take a right-wing teabagger over no representation in my government any day of the week. And then I'll work my ass off to get them defeated in the next election. That's how a democratic government works.

If "none of the above" wins, then we ought to be exempt from following laws and paying federal taxes passed by the Congress in which we have no representation, right?

Why would you choose having no representation in your government instead of supporting a system whereby if "none of the above" wins then a new election is called and the original candidates cannot run?
