Who do you vote for when none of the candidates represent you, the election is rigged from the start (campaign cobtributions lol,) and the parties who are traditionally elected have no interest in leveling the playing fields for future elections?

If a 3rd party candidate was given a fair shake and wasn't painted negatively or as a cook by the main stream media (as so often happens) perhaps people would be more inclined to vote with their brain instead of just doing whatever Mtv, Cnn,Fox, or mommy/daddy tells them is right.

Republicans and democrats are no different, if you think they are then you've been duped just like most voters in America. They represent an older generation's dead or dying political ideals which no longer work in todays modern world.

I would prefer no government at all rather than a tyrannical, corrupt, and broken one. Anyone who knows what this nation stands for should prolly feel similarly. I would say that most people already do feel this way which is why less than half of the eligible voters in this nation take part in elections.

Maybe one day when people realize our politicians are being elected by a noisy and wealthy minority, things will change for the better.



Ps, I'm shocked OP had nothing to say bout Obama negotiating with terrorists (and freeing some of them to "return to the battlefield") in order to free an American "POW" who was allegedly actually a deserter.
I'm with you except for the no government is better than crappy government part. With no government, I would probably have less time to spend playing p99.
