Drumpf?

Please refrain from arguing for a third party, I voted for Perot in 92, unlikely I could be swayed into going down that road again.

Please refrain from inhibiting the change that obviously needs to happen.

I may not sway you, but I'll sure as hell try to sway those reading this thread.

The two parties have run this country for 150+ years, and have settled into a symbiotic relationship whereby the distractions of partisanship have been captured and deployed by business interests which we all know run this country. Voting for either of the two parties is in essence voting for the status quo.

I often hear that voting for a third-party, I'm "throwing my vote away". Not so. I argue that it is those who vote Dem or Rep who are throwing their votes away. These two parties, especially in the last forty years, have settled into a complacent relationship with donors that permits them to ignore the needs and wants of the citizenry. Voting for them is voting for more of them same. Voting for them is voting for the boot that steps on you -- unless you're KUSA or some other online rich guy.

No, I won't refrain from urging a third-party vote. Such is the only possibility of climbing out of the bullshit the two majors have foisted upon us. If I can't change your mind, that's fine -- just make sure the next time you want to complain about how things are, you remember that you bought into it.

You bought into it.
