This whole “my vote needs to be earned" is narcissistic garbage. Candidates aren’t performers on The Apprentice or show dogs that have to jump through more hoops of fire the “earn” your vote.

Voting is a responsibility and voters need to educate themselves and not expect candidates to dance for votes.

Part of being an educated voter is understanding the math behind one’s choices in the voting booth.

I don’t like it either but no 3rd party has been successful since the anti-slavery Republicans ascended Nd the Whigs disappeared in 1860.
