A vow that something will happen is not a prediction, it is a promise that you will make it happen.
My days of not taking the corporate media seriously are certainly coming to a middle. The first time I didn't vote for Trump, I had a clear conscience. Between Hillary and Donald, I couldn't believe what spectacularly bad choices the major parties had dealt us. So Johnson it was. The second time, I was a little less sanguine about it. But I threw my vote away again on Jorgenson. Now this year I kinda want to vote 'for' him as a protest vote against this kind of garbage AND the ridiculous lawfare campaign that only he and his allies seem to be targets for.
