Call me crazy ("Mr. Crazy!"), but if I haven't already alienated all of my "politically wayward" friends, then they can probably tolerate my not voting and not campaigning for them. I'm glad to see that everyone else is unwilling to compromise their beliefs for cheap, short-term gains. Friendship is an institution that has nothing to do with one's political views - so paying for friendship in the coin of political support is very harmful indeed, both to friendship as a concept (Nerdspeak: the "Friendship Class") and to the friendship in question (Nerdspeak: an "Instance Object Of The Friendship Class").
