I made a definitive choice on a very important decision last night.
I decided that I will vote for neither "major party" candidate and I will cast my vote for Libertarian, Gary Johnson - as 5% of for Gary Johnson means that we will see more variety on the ballot in 2016.
Some people say, "That's a wasted vote...
To them I say, "I watched the news just last night and my state is already colored in.. so it's evidently okay."
Our two party system is a failure ...
it's the "haves" arguing against the "have nots" and vice versa...
I personally feel that the largest problem we have is the voting system in this country. I feel relatively informed on this topic as I've spent a tremendous amount of time lately listening to documentaries while editing pics and googling any little question I had about what I had learned. I continue to study it because obviously we should never stop learning...
We're taught about our country's voting system. If I'm not mistaken, I memorized it as a Senior in High School and regurgitated it onto a test... Just months later I voted in my first election... More on that later...
The point is, we see it ... but we don't demand that it be changed. I don't think anyone likes it ((Except of course for the major party candidates that it benefits)) Yet we all just go along apathetically every four years and keep our mouths shut and do it the way we've always done it. Obviously some would still vote for "major party candidates", but not everyone would.
The Electoral College voting system is a wolf in sheep's clothing... It's all dressed up like Democracy, we get to vote for "whichever one we want" after the 'appropriate
candidates' are 'filtered in'. Those 'other guys' (or gals) can run, but they might not be on the ballot in every state, they won't be invited to the "big debates". They can have their own debate... and they will... and they'll invite 'the traditional candidates' and they won't bother to attend... and you'll never hear it on the news....
I'll tell you this... if Gary Johnson would have been on the same stage with President Obama and Mitt Romney during any of the three debates, you would have heard some solutions rather than witnessing a pissing match.
Vote for whomever you wish today... Nothing on earth is more important than following what your gut tells you to do. I'm going to listen to my gut and I hope you'll do the same.
Don't Blame Me... I Voted for Johnson...
