We can vote for whomever we desire, but in reality the choices presented to us will be candidates that has been predetermined to fully pass the "kosher" test.
The only "vote" available to us that can make a meaningful difference is aggressive use of firebrands and pitchforks, just as our Declaration of Independence specified.
