Yeah, I hate the feeling that I have no representation for what I believe in without bringing in aspects that I detest.
Although Christian, I couldn't get behind the Republicans when they were the party of the "Religious Right", I didn't like the idea of using religion to force government control (example: LBGT rights, censorship of violent movies/games etc)
Democrats I oppose mostly on policy, but also because I don't like their dishonesty and tactics (example: Lies and manipulating low information voters on Gun Control).
I was glad to see Republicans move away from the "Religious Right" but instead of a party that represents Conservative values and liberty they represent just about everything wrong with this government (crony-capitalism, partisan pissing contests like Obama's SC pick)
I had hoped with Trump/Hillary we would have seen more push to a rising 3rd party that could bust up this 2 party system that has largely been a cancer to this country but it only confirmed we will be stuck with it in my opinion.
I still think that is going to happen or maybe it's just hope.
