I am supposed to vote for whoever I want. My reasons are my reasons. I should not be punished for it.

Your account name ironically contradicts your belief my friend. Voting is part of freedom of expression; yet you seem to think that there is a certain way everyone should vote, and that those who didn't vote that way should be punished. Please tell me how that is an embodiment of the first amendment. If you truly wished to maintain a freedom of expression, and a diversity of opinions, you would argue against the blacklist entirely.
