Okay, so it is the day before election day. There are currently two candidates running, one that almost matches your views perfectly, and someone who you would prefer not to get in (not saying they are horrible, but they would do things you don't really want). The election is incredibly close, all polls being run can never come up with a significant majority. But while you are walking home from work, you encounter a man. He tells you that, for a price (which you can pay), can rig the election in your favor. Keep in mind that this man in this scenario will do it if you pay him, this is a hypothetical. He will also try and make it as realistic as possible, but there is still a chance you could get caught and arrested. What do you do?
Option 1: Take the offer and rig the election in your favor in order to make your candidate win. There is a chance you will get caught, and you are subverting democracy, but you believe that this is the best decision for the country you live in.
Option 2: Decline the offer, and report him to the police. You trust in the democratic process, and that the peoples choice will bring the candidate that is truly best for the job. You think that subverting democracy, even for what you believe is right, is wrong.
What do you do?
I would personally take option two. I think that democracy is one of the most important aspects of society. If the majority want a candidate, he/she deserves to be in power.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

So yeah, no.
