    You have two choices. There’s nothing anyone can do about that in the next 48 hours. If you refuse to vote for the “lesser evil” because of your “higher standards,” you end up with the greater evil. And in four years you might not get a choice at all.

    Shove your standards up your ass and vote using logic instead of emotion.

      And that’s precisely why this country is so fucked. Neither party is accountable to the electorate because of people like you with this mentality. Both have contributed to the position we’re in now and have zero reason to actually fix anything because theyre both guaranteed to retain power. You’re just perpetuating the status quo with your faulty ‘logic’ of doing absolutely nothing other than attacking anyone who speaks out against this insanity and rewarding those who perpetuate it.

        And in 3 days we will suddenly stop hearing from CmdrShepard42 about holding politicians accountable.

            Based on the fact that for some reason it is only once every 4 years, around October, that there appears to be an interest in a 3rd party from Americans…

              And the rest of the time over the last 50 years, everyone is happy with the government’s performance? What a ridiculous argument rooted in absolutely nothing. This says a lot more about you than anyone else.

              Maybe this is the only period where you hear people criticizing these two private organizations that run the show because it’s the only time you ever take your head out from between their cheeks to get some air?

                So a week from now you’re still going to be posting about the importance of holding politicians accountable? Come January you’re going to be involved in some action to pressure the government to do something about Israel? I’d love to be proven wrong.

                  These comments reek of projection because your view of politics is “pay attention in October before the election.” You don’t seem to grasp that other people care about how the country is run outside of that tiny window where you pay attention because you only see the world through your own lens.
