Which political party do you support and why?
#15
RE: Which political party do you support and why?
When it comes to politics, in America we have three basic options when it comes to politics

1) Democrats- Woefully inadequate, but for reasons that will be explained later on, is the party I support primarily because it's the least evil.
2) Republicans- This party has gone a long way since the days of Teddy Roosevelt. Instead of being Crazy Awesome like Teddy was, the Republican Party ceased to become the fountain for progressivism that you would expect of a party which was made famous by Abraham Lincoln. This appeared to have ended with Herbert Hoover being confronted with the Great Depression and doing jack shit about it. About thirty years later, the best man they could come up with was Richard Nixon, a man who became famous for being the yardstick for political corruption (at least in America.) After Nixon, however, the candidates seem to have just grown more and more exponentially insane (I'm sure we all remember Christine O'Donnell, who couldn't say anything better about herself than "I am Not a Witch".) If this keeps up, I can't see how insane their candidates for 2016 would be.
3) Third Party- There's a shitload of "Third Parties" in America which have no chance of winning. I do not support them for reasons anyone familiar with the 1912 election should find obvious: Taft and Roosevelt split the progressive vote such that Woodrow Wilson won. Despite this, of course, I'm still wearing a 1912 Roosevelt T-shirt that I got for my birthday yesterday. Even in 2000, Ralph Nader stole just enough votes from Al Gore so that, even though he won the popular vote overall, he lost in Florida.

Of course, there's still the option of staying home on election day, but that would make too much sense.

As a result, I'll support the Democrats until the real silent majority rises up and walks the Earth and takes over the government.
