This is a very sad year for American politics. I like Trump's ideas, but he doesn't come off very well when he presents them and the *Lady* in the election well don't get me started on her or her husband!

INSTRUCTIONS: For Trump, read from the top down. For Hillary, read from bottom up.

At least 4 out of every 5 of my friends is of the position that they can't in good conscience vote for either of these candidates and it's going to be a "lesser of two evils" vote when they go into the polls in November.

So, my question is, since most Americans claim that they identify as neither Democrats nor Republicans, why are we so convinced that a vote for a 3rd party candidate is a thrown away vote? The Republicans I know don't like Trump. The Democrats I know don't like Hillary. What if we all tell the two main parties to go to hell and vote for someone outside the political norm? That would really shake things up and send Washington a message. With social media platforms like Facebook we ought to be doing what we can to tell the DNC and the RNC just that--go to hell. You both are owned by banks, businesses, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance companies. You both bow down to the lobbyists. If we really want to see change we need to change our mindsets and not be hypnotized into believing that we only have two choices.

A good point there about a third party. But who would be put on the ticket as the head of a third party?

Me I've just given up on politics. I'm not saving that is the right thing to do either I'm just saying that is what I did.

There is a 3rd party candidate named Gary Johnson. While no one will ever agree with any candidate on every issue, he's at least looking into:

"Women will be truly equal to men the day an incompetent woman is given a high-level job."
– Françoise Giroud



I think she made this statement in the 70's. Kind of scary isn't it?

Well that looks as if that is about to happen - will we all be equal then if Hillary wins?

It should depend on the source of the incompetence: politics as opposed to gender, religion, or race. And speaking of gender...

It's no secret that Rupert Murdoch of Fox News and the New York Post has always been Republican-friendly, so by publishing 20-year-old nude photos of Donald Trump's wife, he theoretically succeeded in beating Republican-UN-friendly media to the punch. But it turns out that there are two other theories:

Gonna be completely honest. You Americans are getting shafted as heck.

I literally can't believe it, but if I was an American, my liberal ass might actually vote for Trump - his contender should be in prison.
