I agree with your first point.
I generally vote for independents or candidates from smaller parties
when I have the opportunity, simply to try to encourage
more diversity in the options we're faced with.
Well, that's understandable. But my crucial point was against electing leaders in general. In order to do something, we shouldn't "need to get a dem elected first," or what have you. If we're faced with problems, why do we need George W. Bush or some other idiot to address them? I'm disgusted by this terrible idea that things are better in the hands of bureaucratic elites. And those coming into the
field tend to leave things worse off anyway.
