Will you vote?

[Zimzum]

I've voted in every election since I turned 18. I find it really sad how little of the population actually votes.

Same here. People think all these elections have been almost split 50/50 between voters. People winning by less then a thousand votes, etc. But when you look at the overall voter turnout, only 50%~ of all registered voters actually go vote. So in reality only half are split 50/50. Imagine if another party came in and took that other 50%. Would certainly blow away the 25% both Dems and Repubs are really getting. And may even take votes away from those 2 parties.

People you need to vote for who you want and not who people tell you to vote. If everyone who wanted to vote independent, green, libertarian did so then it would give the 2 main parties a run for there money. Instead everyone thinks "If I vote for X I'm throwing my vote away" so they don't vote for X, when in fact X could have won but voter mentality kept them from doing so.

In short, find someone who will appeal to the 50% who don't vote and you will have a 3rd party.
