From a Star-Ledger article on the NJ gubernatorial election:
“For disappointed Democrats and Republicans, a decision to vote for Daggett will mean a break with party loyalty — no easy thing. What we’re suggesting is a temporary suspension of that loyalty as a way to begin changing the corrosive culture of Trenton. ”
Why should it be so hard not to vote for one of the two parties? Why the hell does anyone owe them any loyalty?
The worst thing about the rival popular parties is the are essentially in agreement on the fundamental choice in government. That is does the government exist only to secure The rights of of individuals or to violate the rights of some to provide goods or services for others. They all agree we must sacrifice (the individual) for the common good (whatever whoever wants to say is whichever’s need).
