I've voted in every election since I turned 18. 
I'm not sure you're understanding my point. I'm well versed in 1984, I hate dogma of every kind. I evaluate every vote with a mathematical mind towards first and second order logics. The conservatives are showing a severe inauthenticity, they contradict their own values with their actions. If I'm going to evaluate a vote, I need something consistent to evaluate it against. So far, the Democrats and Libertarians are the only two parties to provide that. I need the Republicans to show some spine.
