Should our moral or contractual obligations be our point when voting?

I'm not sure what you mean by "contractual obligations", but I vote for God. It's gotten increasingly difficult to do based on the candidates, but it tends to align more closely with the Republican platform.

While that is true if we do so and the greater evil wins and how do you maintain your faith in the system. This is a real struggle and I am truly lost in it.

SGT (Join to see) - Well its like this, voting at the highest level of government only if folly if the system truly is broken you fix it by changing its foundation. This is why voting for congressmen Senators and your state representatives is very important. Remember your vote matters most at the lowest level

depends, i am not in a swing state so i will vote for who i believe in, if i was in a swing state i would vote for the lesser of the evils.

Why does the state make a difference if your vote is based on morals rather than most likely to win? How do you determine that the moral ground isnt the fight ?

Frankly the idea that "I will vote with my conscience" is a flawed idea, IMO. You should vote in whatever fashion that you decide will make a difference in the country. We all know that unless things get moving in the Libertarian or Green party, there is next to zero chance that either party will get a single electoral vote. But hey, go ahead and feel smug and self-righteous. Hillary or Trump will laugh all the way to the bank. (If your goal is to ensure federal funding for that candidate the next election cycle then that is a different approach that I can support)
As to SSG Ed Mikus , point, he knows when his vote will actually count and when it won't....statistically. This is a lesson every conservative voter in California has had to deal with. Just understand that sometimes the momentum in a state can change in one election cycle. It happened in Virginia.

Remember to vote local as well as national, too.
