Also, how can intellectuals, activists, and others effectively promote individual rights over the next four years?

Question: What's your view of the upcoming 2012 election? By what standards do you judge the presidential candidates?

Question: All the candidates are nearly perfectly horrid, just in different ways. Why should I even bother to vote?

Question: What do you think of political bipartisanship? Is it a good think or just an idealogical vacuum?

Question: Why do Objectivists single out the Libertarian Party as particularly bad? I understand the objections to the Libertarian Party, but how are the Republican and Democratic Parties any better? Also, how do you propose we affect change in our society? Should people work to change the Republican party from within? Or focus solely on intellectual activism?
