John Quincy Adams on Third-Party Voting


“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”
 
I guess Adams, the son of one of the Founding Fathers and our sixth President, was a man who “didn’t love his country” and was too stupid to realize that his vote “for principle” was actually a vote for the 19th Century equivalent of Obama. I guess Adams was too dense to grasp that he was supposed to “support his party first”, otherwise he was “throwing his vote away”. That there are “only two viable parties”, though in his lifetime he was actually – at one time or another – a member of five. That he was making himself “irrelevant”.

Yeah, he was just a fool. We can dismiss him.
