Huh, I thought some of your posts seemed reasonable. Now I'm starting to question that...
Voting for a candidate does not equate to supporting all of that candidate's positions. The 2 party system sucks and I'll gladly protest vote against it. In the past, regional politics mattered a lot more than they do now. My conscience is at peace knowing that as a southerner in a different time, sometimes the only protest candidate I would find appealing is the clearly-going-to-lose southerner whose entire campaign is built on fried chicken, grits, moonshine, Sunday School, and "yall folks". Tribal? Yes. Racist? No. It's also the main reason I'd vote for Carter.
I'm probably willing to vote Wallace, but I'd also cast my vote gladly for Eugene V. Debs. Would that be out of your comfort zone?
