DID YOU VOTE?!
Democrats, Republicans, Green Party, etc... NONE of them respresent all of my views. No one party can. But I vote for Democrat candidates because they are the closest ones that hold my own personal views. I would vote for a Republican if that one candidate were better than any of the others. It's not about which party they're in for me, it's about the best person fit for the job. I have voted for a third party before, but let's be realistic... most of the time, these parties will not be elected into office, most do not even have a chance. That's the simple truth.
And until that third party can get out and educate the country's entire population, we will continue to be a two party system. That's the problem. The American population is lazy, they're ignorant and stupid (at times) when it comes to politics. The only things they are fed day after day is bi-partisan politics. Two. That's it. They don't see anything else. It sucks, yes.. I wish it were different. But until then, I will continue to vote for candidates that support my views, but ALSO have a chance at winning. When I see polls or reports that a third party is doing great, I'll vote that way if I see fit.
But voting is a civic duty.. that's the only way things will change. Yeah, it may take time to get around to having third party candidates recognized in a state/national race with a chance at winning.. you may have to vote for a lesser of two evils at some point.. but voting is something that should be done by all Americans. If you don't vote, you have no right to complain or bitch about the politics in this country.
