I'm Voting For An Outsider As A Protest Against The System!!!

Alexander the Great was one man, and he conquered the entire known world.

History is full of "just one man" who changed humanity forever.

Your preemptive surrender is premature and unsupported by history.

And the Joker didn't "lose".
He was a nihilist. He ended as he started, into the nothing.

But his unintended consequence was to strengthen the image of Batman, the hero, the single individual who would save Gotham.

So there.

Protest votes! Gotta love them. But are ballot boxes really the place to protest, or are they the place to try and forward your ideology?

I ask this genuinely, because Protest votes have historically elected the worst Leaders and Tyrants possible. And every time the USA has one of these "Protest" votes we seem to get dragged deeper into the hole.

You see the problem is you go to the ballot box to use the system, to protest against the system, by making an outsider, an insider...

Let me explain. Some of us probably remember 1994, huge influx of new Freshmen Congressmen all elected by Republicans to institute "Term Limits". 22 Years later we don't have Term Limits, but we still have some of those Congressmen who were elected to institute those Term Limits. You see there's a reason those Term Limits never quite got done; because those "Outsiders", are now the "Insiders" we're bitching about.

Now we want to protest that exact sort of thing by doing the exact same thing we did in 1994. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

You cannot vote in a Rebellion! Because you cannot use the system to destroy the system. And an outsider is only an outsider until he's sworn in...

The Ballot Box is no place to protest the system, hell it's practically a shrine to the System! The Ballot Box is where we compare our ideologies, then the people choose which Ideology is the best to take this country forward. That's why issues matter.

Nobody is going to tear down a building while they're standing inside it...

And don't tell me about Sampson, because he died in the end, and I haven't seen a Candidate out there yet that I think is willing to die for us, and history has shown that's the level of commitment it takes to try and take on this system from the inside.

So here's to November 8, 2016. That day we will all flock to that ultimate shrine of our democratic republic, The Ballot Box, and use democracy to protest democracy...

i'm voting for me again.

so far since ive been 18, i've won every election i've ran in.

it's good to be sovereign.

I have never voted for a Dem or a Repub. I always vote for the next choice, even if it's a Commie. At least the Commie is honest about who he/she is, right?
By not voting for the Dem/Repub paradigm, I'm sending both parties a big

If anyone watched the 2012 RNC you would have saw firsthand that they TPTB whomever they control will not allow outsiders who are true to their word from ever gaining control...

They blatantly disobeyed the public interest when they changed the rules during the convention to eliminate Ron Paul from challenging Romney.

There that was enough for me to conclude that there will be no change as much as people want Trump to be the benevolent leader they think he will be, The reality is if he is true to his word the RNC will force him from being the nominee but note if they allow Trump to take the nomination then he has never been on our side..

Basically
TR;DR Nothing changes.

Same.

Although I supported Ron Paul in 2012 and got audited for it. Had a business meeting with someone who had the exact same thing happen to him.

If I recall correctly, saddletramp ran into the same thing.

Establishment doesn't like you coloring outside the lines and apparently they will try to ruin you for doing so.

We desperately need term limits as a way to try and reel in the out of control corrupt system we have. Unfortunately it won't happen, nor will any sort of revolution because people are infinitely more distracted than the last time.

We have the numbers, each year the population grows by a couple million, yet less than 1,000 people control us and set our agenda. Unfortunately there just aren't enough people who really give a shit and are willing to change the system. Organizing dissent is near impossible because the vast majority will turn on you out of fear that it might interrupt their regularly scheduled programming.

thinking you'll defeat a corrupted fraudulent system by using the same corrupted fraudulent system are like people who think they'll end war with a war.

I'm not saying it's time for a Revolution, I'm saying it's time to start using the ballot box for what it was intended for...

Flushing your vote down the shitter?

Nobody cares, and don't you have plans "calling it" later anyway?

Donald Trump`s rise did not come from people looking for a protest vote despite what the media tries to spin it as. It is not from angry people lashing out blindly.

Trump rocketed up the charts because of his stance on immigration. Especially the wall. Without his immigration plans he likely would never have caught on with the high unfavorables he had.

The only true protest vote we've seen that had any strength was Perot in '92.

Bush was never an outsider
Clinton was never an outsider
Bush was never an outsider
Bammy not an outsider...

So I'm not sure exactly what you're getting at?

Woodrow Wilson was seen as an ... 'outsider'

Alexander the Great was not one man, his ARMY conquered the known world, and numerous kings and chiefs bought him off to prevent being conquered. Alexander the Great is not a great example of a man that put principals before money. Do you think any of these Candidates will put principals before money, because they will be offered money, a lot of fucking money, and we already know how much some Candidates love money...

This is not ancient Greece, and I said modern times...

For the analogy of Alexander the Great to hold true a candidate would have to lead an army against the Oligarchy, and in that case what did we need the ballot box for in the first place...

Actually, Trump could be that one man that causes a Revolution. The establishment hates/fears him so much that they might do something over the top/drastic to stop him.
Sparking the match that lights a fire and causes a Storm!

Protest candidates are always Populists (dem or rep), and all I've heard is how Trump is going to tear down the system, build a wall, kick all the Muslims out...

These goals are not politically possible under the system of Government we have, but no one really cares...He's an Outsider who's telling you everything you want to hear, possible or not makes no difference.

And, the more he seems to piss off the Establishment, the better he must be...That's not a protest candidate?

Woodrow Wilson was seen as an ... 'outsider'

You are trying to frame it as his main appeal is that hes upsetting the establishment. It isnt the "upset" at all thats winning people over. Its Trumps immigration policy. Its Trumps america first on trade deals. Its Trumps political dynamic where much of the political leeches have no more blood to suck. etc...

So it isnt they hate him so we love him. Its we love his ideas hes putting forth so we are voting for him. And yes, those ideas are ideas that the establishment deeply resists and it does piss them off but thats a side effect of not the cause of Trumps rise.
