This will be my most political post. I don't mean to offend anyone, but I'm going to be honest.
Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders have very, very little in common aside from being against the Iraq War and perhaps some views on civil liberties. I've seen a lot of my fellow Ron Paul voters think about voting for Bernie-and that's fine, it's their choice.
However if you are a libertarian like I am voting for Bernie is without question contradictory to your beliefs. Bernie wants to raise taxes and grow government. He also doesn't respect or understand individual rights. Again, if you are a socialist than please, vote for Bernie. If you call yourself a "libertarian" and are a Ron Paul fan, then you might want to rethink voting for a guy who, in reality, stands for the opposite of what you claim to believe.
Speaking of politics, let's talk about third parties. Never in my life have I experienced the amount of hate for what I'm about to say. It's chilling how some people act, but I should have expected it.
Voting for a third party is a real bad idea. Sure, you'll feel better about yourself and you'll think you are smarter and more moral than the rest of us who dirty our hands with the two party system-but you've thrown your vote away and helped the greater evil win. It's very simple. Both of the main parties had over 50 million votes in the the last election. The third party (and yes, I am a member of the Libertarian party but I almost always vote republican) barely cracked a million. Good luck.
Voting for a third party is done for your pleasure only and accomplishes nothing.
