I've been there and done that only to contribute to the defeat of the person that I SHOULD have been voting for.

Thank you for making a perfect illustration of my point.

As long as the two main parties can keep the sheeple thinking this way, then nothing will change.

It's just a Catch 22 ret. Voting for a third party right now is a waste of the gas to get to the polling place. I would like NOTHING better politically than to see a good third party candidate with a healthy chance of winning. I would donate to him and campaign for him. Problem is in today's political climate, a third party candidate is no more than something to split the ticket for political expediency.

I'm not arguing with you ret, I just am facing the cold facts. Catch 22.
