Thanks P!
I was thinking on this some last night actually-
That I hear a lot "I'm voting for this guy to keep that guy out of the office"- lesser of two evils...
Like you, I'm so sick of hearing it. But I also realized, there's another element out there also fueled by propaganda that tells people that they are "wasting" their vote if they vote 3rd party.
The funny thing is that every time it gets repeated, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy- People don't get it that the ONLY reason that 3rd party will lose this next election is because the american public as a whole, but more importantly as individuals, can't overcome their own self-fulfillment of such a prophecy.
It's just sad and disheartening to watch.
I'm registered green, and voting for Jill Stein. I don't care if she loses, like you said-- I'd vote for Mickey Mouse over these fukin clowns the democrats and republicans are giving us.
