Hello Lau, thanks for taking the time to come chat. I wish more folks were as open to discussion as you.
As a registered Republican in OH, I will try to shed some light on why I will likely vote for Gary Johnson. In short, because he earned it. How does Mitt Romney earn a vote? Well, he's not Obama primarily.
In other words, let's say you dedicated every day of your life for years to the business of being elected to a political office. Raising money, campaigning almost every day, writing articles, working on a book, tv/radio interviews, etc. Every where you go, people love your message and thank you for your dedication to public service. It's a den of vipers and you're risking your livelihood to protect your fellow citizens. At the end of 1 - 2 year campaign, wouldn't you just feel crushed if people that loved your message decided not to vote for you because you were not likely to win? To add insult to injury, you hear this same thing from thousands and thousands of people. Yet, if all the people that said that actually ended up voting for you, you would win!
I like Gary Johnson, and I would like to encourage him and others like him to try again in the future. My statistically meaningless vote (even in OH) is my way of saying Thank You.
