Maybe not, but each time I write an astute post (‘like this one’, he astutely thought out loud), I remind myself how FEW people are actually going to make the decision for ALL OF US…Vote….this November. The percentage of the total population that will cast a vote for the winner will probably be like 20% or less…and somehow they will call it a LANDSLIDE. <\/p>\n

Only like HALF of REGISTERED VOTERS actually show up to vote. Then there’s the millions of unregistered voters and “ineligible” voters. Most people are so fed up with the broken system that they rarely vote…and giving them the choice of bad or worse is NOT going to lure them to the polls. <\/p>\n

You want my vote? Give me a candidate that I can believe in. And who is legit, and won’t let me down. #ThanksBernie #ThanksObama. <\/p>\n

Maybe some of you will realize that this is the PERFECT time to vote 3rd party. I plan to vote for the candidate I believe in most…not the one I’m afraid of the least. I encourage you all to do the same.<\/p>\n

A huge horde of normally non-voting Americans, all suddenly deciding to vote 3rd party in this election, could EASILY mean more votes for BOTH 3rd party candidates than either “major party” candidate. You want a REAL revolution? Vote Libertarian or Green Party. Let’s show the Dem and GOP fuckheads how broken their system REALLY is. <\/p>\n
