Hillary or Trump: Which of These is the Lesser of Two Evils?

[abaris]

It boggles my mind that there isn't a fiscally conservative, socially liberal alternative.

If I look at the States, I'm asking myself what this fiscally conservative mantra even means. Taxes are wasted on the largest possible scale by both parties. It's only that it's not to the benefit of the people at large. It's to subsidize corporations already making huge profits and it's to finance a behemoth of an army and largely futile foreign interventions. At the same time, when visiting some rural areas or even the outskirts of the large hubs, the infrastructure gives the impression of a third world country. Crumbling roads and landlines everywhere.

That won't change, as long as there isn't a third party making a real impact. The dems and repubs have divided the country and it's assets between them. And both of them answer to big money and not the people, since hardly any canidate can hope to win an election without taking the so called donations. At least on the federal level.
