Vote against obviously evil power mongers. Vote against people who thumb their nose at even the idea of civil society.
Vote against people who think government is nothing but the criminal gang that fights for you against your perceived enemies.

While it is true that most of the election-year policies are promises that end up not being fulfilled, the policies that are chosen by the candidate to push the most are also a reflection of their character and beliefs. And just like you've to distill the fake from real promises, you've to do the same for the character they project, because how they present themselves is not always any more real than the policies they promise.

Policy is a stick. Useless without a person willing to swing it consistently and fairly.

With such vague arguments, it's not even clear to an outsider what each of their preferences are.

As someone not from the US, Naval's tweet is pretty disgraceful.
>Vote for freedom, entrepreneurship, meritocracy.
>Vote against serfdom, censorship, bureaucracy.
This is saying nothing, and depending on which side of the fence you sit on you are 1000% going to read that and think yeah that's my person in the "FOR" option and the "BAD" side is the other person in the "AGAINST" option.
