accepted, I'm used to being told I've wasted my vote , I take the criticism with a chickpea (I don't add salt to anything) this is not the first time, and will likely not be the last time I've voted for a candidate that had no chance of winning

No Socialist Party candidate ever won the White House yet Hoover proposed "Old Age Pensions" and began the New Deal as best he could - Democrat Propaganda to the contrary. Roosevelt's meddling is a matter of history and a point of pride to many Democrats.

As I see it there are more options today than either chump change or four more years of Empire.

Good stuff. It's like forcing yourself to buy a shitty Chevy or Ford simply because there're more of them on the road than a quality Yaris. I voted the last two election against the democrat. I feel that if I can not honestly say I would vote for someone I won't vote for them. Neither of these guys are good for the country or personal freedoms. Again, if the chevy sucks and the ford sucks I'm not buying either one.

It used to be a vote was something a politician had to earn, not expect or depend on.

here is a really interesting political quiz, using the nolan chart to score your political leanings.
i think this is probably the most accurate political map i've ever seen.

Said I am a left-leaning centerist, which seems about right.
