There ARE Alternatives

Here are two:

Dr. Jill Stein for the Green Party:

Gov. Gary Johnson and Gov. Bill Weld for the Libertarian Party:

Unless they can poll 15%, they don't get into the Presidential Debates. Johnson has polled recently at 10%, so maybe America can see that there are genuine alternatives to a career Kleptocrat and a late stage Syphilitic....

Unfortunately they're alternatives to actually having a vote that will matter.

Nonsense Holo.

I've been hearing that for years, but here are the facts;

Third parties have to spend an ungodly amount of money and energy merely to appear on the ballot. If a third party polls 1%, they will appear on the next ballot (at least here in CT). So a vote for a third party counts more in that regard than a vote for the bigs.

Now, as to my vote not counting, you're wrong.

Let's take my home state of Connecticut as an example.

CT is one of the bluest of blue states. So here, if you're inclined to vote Democratic, you're wasting your vote. The Democrat will win.

If you're voting Republican, you're wasting your vote. The Republican will lose.

If, by some bizarre circumstance, the Republican wins CT, your missing Dem vote will not turn the tide of the election. If a Pub wins CT, it's a national landslide and CT's seven electoral votes wouldn't matter either way.

Voting Third Party increases awareness that we don't have to settle for whatever the major parties shove our way... AND serves notice that we're turning away from their duopoly.

I've been following politics since I was ten, and it's gotten nothing but worse. I pray that the kleptocrat and the syphilitic are the bottom of the barrel and that beginning this year America will open its mind to alternatives and things will begin to turn up.
