I can't vote for rich politicians, democrat or republican. I'm much further left and more liberal than the democratic party line so I don't identify with either. Usually when I vote, I vote for a third party. Usually people tell me I'm wasting my vote. I don't believe that's the case. Without ANY votes, third parties get no funding, or support. The two party system (which even our founding fathers warned against) is eating a hole in a country whose system is flawed and in need of revision in the first place. No person who truly understands the needs of the average American or even the average HUMAN could win an election of importance in this country since it's constructed to be run be wealthy socialites and elitists. There is too much hate, racism, sexism and bigotry in the world to allow people who are out of touch with humanity run something that could be so much more. It's really unfortunate. I urge everyone from all sides to continue with political discussions, as that is one of the things that could help us take steps forward.
