This would be perfectly rosy nice if the reality were that no more than ~1% of the electorate would do it.

But the GOP exists and their voters are loyal. So avoid the Democratic Party and we'll just hand the keys over.

I avoid both major parties. Perhaps if you and others did as well, that stranglehold could be broken?

There is a difference between the two, don't misunderstand me, but on the major issues, they are very indistinguishable.

I think so long as you and your ilk insist on American politics being a binary game, nothing will get done. You'll ask me where would I start, and chide me for "throwing away my vote". But tell me, what have you done?

You buy into the system that you yourself criticize. Who are you to chide me for actually bowing out?

I refuse to vote major party henceforth, except in 2018 in order to hopefully help return the Congress (one house or the other) to the Dems in order to achieve a balance. Outside of that, I wish both major parties could be loaded onto a sealiner suffering from major welding defects and sailing the North Atlantic in springtime.

My best hope is that they don't drag us down with them.

Majorities always start out as minorities. You're just behind the curve, is all.





Unless us Americans wake up we will be ridden to the bottom in this new Gilded Age.
