I’ve voted for candidates in both major parties, in addition to voting for third party candidates. Sometimes in the same election. In 2018 for example, my ballot was cast for Ron DeSantis (R) and Bill Nelson (D).
The letters next to the name mean very little to me. I have essentially zero party allegiance. Particularly in this age of rabid partisans, I find blind loyalty profoundly frustrating.
Recall Benjamin Franklin’s famous assertion that “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”
I understand quite clearly that I and nearly everyone I’ve ever known or cared about, are part of that “well-armed lamb”. For those of you who identify with or imagine yourself to be one of the “two wolves”, here’s a reality check: unless you’re having dinners in the wine cellar with billionaires or high rolling with Steve Wynn, then I’m sorry, kiddo, you’re just not part of the club. You’re no wolf. At best, maybe you’re a pawn or mouthpiece.
