This is from someone who did not vote for Clinton, did not vote for either Bush and did not vote for Obama.
Both of the two dominant political parties have so thoroughly embarrassed themselves with their Presidential candidate offerings that we really have to ask what is their agenda. It is as if they had hit rock bottom and then started using dynamite to go even deeper.
Yet, the stranger of the two is the Democratic Party. In a year where even a modestly popular figure could beat Trump easily, the apparently selected person is so marginally acceptable to the electorate that there are serious doubts she can defeat him.
This makes the race close when it doesn't need to be. So, what is the advantage of hanging on to Hillary? It isn't good for the party, it isn't good for America, it isn't good for the world. In fact, the down side is so enormous that, as a caring citizen, we might expect she would withdraw and allow a more popular choice to be made.
Thus, this election really has come down to personality: Trump with the ego of massive proportions, but not much else, and Hillary with the drive to become President, but not much else.
Neither will satisfy any more than a small minority of Americans.
The two-party conspiracy deserves to be broken. Neither party merits loyalty or anyone's vote.
It's enough to make one vote for Johnson! His positions and personality are less disconcerting than Donald's and Hillary's. This poster has not decided yet what to do, though certainly a Democratic or Republican vote is out.
