Defensive Voting and Trump as an Alternative

Earlier this week I discussed the concept of voting with Sean at SGT Report. We discussed the nature of voting in a democracy, defensive voting and whether there is ever a choice that matters in the context of the recent Presidential election.

Lysander Spooner on voting in “No Treason”

A man finds himself environed by government that he can not resist,a govt that forces him to pay money , render service and forego the exercise of many of his natural rights under the peril of weighty punishments.

He sees too that others practice tyranny over him by use of the ballot. He sees too further that if he will by use the ballot himself he has some chance of relieving himself from this tyrany of others, by subjecting them to his own.

So situated if he uses the ballot he may become a master, if he does not use it he must become a slave. And he has no alternative between the two….

It is self-preservation that causes the man to use the ballot as he has been forced into this situation.

Voting for Prison Warden

When in prison, you eat the prison food, do you also vote for the warden if allowed?

Murray Rothbard on Presidential Elections in 1972

“The Presidency, unfortunately, is of extreme importance. It will be running or directing our lives greatly for four years. So, I see no reason why we shouldn’t endorse, or support, or attack one candidate more than the other candidate. I really don’t agree at all with the non-voting position in that sense, because the non-voter is not only saying we shouldn’t vote: he is also saying that we shouldn’t endorse anybody.

I don’t see how anybody could fail to have a preference, because it will affect all of us.”
