Of course, but that's not relevant here.
It'd also be safe to imply, wouldn't it, that the black sheep feel/think/believe it'd be better if they were in charge of the sheep. They's the talented, informed sheep in the family after all ... being oppressed and held back by their white sheepfellas.
No it wouldn't. Recognition of differences is not even remotely related to desire for power or self-assertion as "better", more talented, informed, or whatever.
black sheep are just as stoopid as the white ones
Absolutely, no argument there. But they are different from the statistical majority. But you're missing my point again. Not sure why you are having such trouble with this logic, but like I said before, no big deal, let's just write this off as mutual misunderstanding (or whatever you want to call it) and stop, because this doesn't seem productive at all.
And it diverts from the topic a bit.

Pissing in the wind eh?
If I wanted to "throw away my vote", I wouldn't have voted at all. I voted for whom I thought would be the best president, of all the choices presented at the time. It's really that simple, even though it might be a weird idea that's hard to grasp for some people. I refuse to follow what I believe to be an imposed pattern of thinking/action when it comes to things like elections. See above re. sheep and all that. And it may very well be that it wasn't particularly smart; that's not up to me to judge, nor do I care, as I did what I felt was the right thing to do. Just like everyone else I guess.
