Blah blah blah. You honestly think an independent has a decent chance of winning? I don't. And I don't vote for a loser in a pluralistic election, because to do so dilutes the pool against the party whose views I disagree with. A Republican, whose platform I more or less despised, became governor here in Minnesota because the Democrat and Independent candidates were so similar that half the Democratic voters went Independent - 60% voted for those two, 40% for the Republican. It's like being unable to choose between two flavors of ice cream and then eating chopped liver instead.
Partisanship is the way of the world. Fuck idealism and voting for your absolute favorite candidate - your vote doesn't matter a whole lot when he only gets 10%, and that vote could have been used for a more viable candidate who might be less appealing but is certainly better than the other major competitor. Our next president will be a Democrat or a Republican, no matter which way you or I vote. I choose between the two. Not because I haven't read about politics, not because I don't know what any of the other candidates stand for. Because this is what has an effect.
Buying into the hype, sheep my ass. This is the way things are. You're allowed to tell me I'm wrong as soon as there's a Libertarian in the White House.
