Anyone else voting third party in the US Presidential election?
Frankly I'm tired of the stranglehold that Republicans and Democrats have on politics in this country. I feel if you vote Republican you are supporting the anti-intellectual, anti-science, religious kook, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, not to mention anti-pornography agenda that so many of them have.
And then there's the plain fact that leading Republican and Democrat candidates alike are so far in the pockets of the military-industrial complex, big corporations and bankers that they aren't even trying to hide the fact anymore. It's a perverse corruption of our democracy. If either one gets elected we aren't looking at a positive change to fix the real problems and issues the U.S. faces.
After looking over the Libertarian Party platform and former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson that I have to say I agree with 95% of what they have to say. I bet a lot of Republican and Democrat voters would agree too if they weren't afraid on "wasting" their vote on a third party candidate.
