Oskaar said:To me, it's the people that are settling on the "evil of two lessers" that are delaying a reform in the party and system. If more people would use their votes to send that message by voting out of party when they are not satisfied with their chosen candidate, then the political analysts and shrewd campaign tacticians of that party would seize on that statistic, and make changes in values and ideals for the next round. Politicos don't miss that type of trend and neither do political opportunists.
Well said Oskaar, and one of the underlying points I was trying to make. I stand beside Oskaar on this one, more people need to vote out of the two party system for the message to sink in with the Politicians. Flipping your allegiance between the two parties on the basis of who's the lesser of two evils only exacerbates things. Both parties need to know they can go to hell, and won't get our vote, until they start truly abiding by the Constitution, and working to restore it.
