Here's a political post for yinz. I don't like talking about politics. I don't spend enough time researching what is involved to feel as if I have a credible opinion. Take economics for example. I know more about it than the average person, but I might as well be a baboon compared to an economist. Economics only comprise a fraction of what is incorporated in the field of politics. You've got other areas such as foreign and domestic policy, etc...
I am voting for Gary Johnson this presidential election, not because I think he is the best candidate. I think Vermin Supreme is the best candidate. I voted for him back in 2012. I'm voting for Johnson for two reasons. One: Out of any political party that I am cognizant, the Libertarian party's ideals best align with my own. Two: A good showing by ANY third party candidate is a victory for Americans. It may help dispel the illusion that unless you vote Republican or Democrat that you are throwing away your vote. The third parties missed the debates this year, but I remain hopeful for future elections. P.S. I think democracy is a terrible idea. Idiots should not be permitted to vote. And yes, I am aware that we do not have a "true" or direct democracy but rather a representative democracy, hence the elections n@.
