I have never voted for a democrat, but I am nowhere near a token republican. It sucks that holding a powerful political position almost goes against the middle ground/Big L/small L libertarians, but jesus christ it is so maddening when both sides try to highlight these stupid, stupid things.

My point: you'll hear the lefties here in colorado complain on this issue, while ignoring the same things done by their own, see below.

anyway, it's frustrating being a young person seeing how ridiculous our 2 party system is, and how hard it would be to change or get a viable candidate from an independent party elected.
