Exactly, this country is in the habit of voting for the lesser of two evils or as I like to say. The least worst candidate. The problem is when voting for the least worst candidate, you still end up with a bad winner. The two major parties push the line when it comes to voting for third party candidates that it is a wasted vote, the third party candidate cannot win. But I think voting for a Republican or Democrat is a wasted vote, you are voting for business as usual regardless of that they say or the rhetoric they spout.
My beliefs have led me to vote third party in 5 of the last 6 presidential elections. Perhaps if more voters would vote for whom they like, for whom they think would make the best president. Maybe, just maybe the two major parties would offer up better candidates. But then again, I doubt it.
I don't think that we are going to get better candidates until start doing their jobs properly again and stop thinking that they are there to "make a difference".... Most people don't follow politics like we do in here, and as such make their decisions based on what an reader on FNC, or CNN say, couple that with the ads that blatantly lie, and you have horribly misinformed voters...Hell, just look around here. How many posters in here just spout talking point crap, and when pressed, disappear?
Someone said it before, and I agree, we are becoming Idiocracy.
