Post Letter: Third-party candidates require no compromise

John Schmieding’s welcome response to my letter outlines his reasons for supporting Obama and why such support is vital. His case, as I understand it, is that a Romney administration would have a lot of negative consequences. I agree with this point, and I would prefer Obama assume the presidency over Romney.

Post Letter: Candidates offer opposing visions for U.S.

In this presidential election, we face a choice between American democracy as we have known it — with the hope of moving forward to more equality of opportunity (represented by President Obama) — and plutocracy: government by the most wealthy individuals and corporations (represented by Mitt Romney).

With so much at stake, we all must make sure to vote.

Post Letter: Third-party votes are not effective in reality

I’m writing in response to the letter from Stephen Pearson that appeared in Wednesday’s Post. Stephen writes eloquently about his choice to vote for a third-party candidate.

Yet I believe that voting for a third-party candidate is not the most effective use of our voting rights.
