Protest voters: What’s wrong with you?
The presidential campaign of 2016 has less than five weeks to go. Here’s a question for those contemplating a “protest vote” in this year’s election.
What’s wrong with you?
On Jan. 20, 2017, either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will become the 45th president of the United States. Period.
The only signal a vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson or Green Party candidate Jill Stein might send is that you placed personal political purity over practical public priority. Sorry. I’m not impressed.
