Exactly. Even if by some completely unexpected miracle a third party candidate got enough votes to win the election this year, they'd still have their hands tied when it comes to trying to make their platform a reality, because Congress is such a ridiculous stalemate nowadays. So the candidate's supporters would wind up just as disappointed with the outcomes as they would if Clinton or Trump were in office.

I would love to see more variety in candidates, too, certainly, and maybe someday we'll eventually get to that point. I do sympathize with the idea of people feeling frustrated that a candidate doesn't fully speak for them*. And I obviously can't control how people choose to vote. But third party supporters' decision to go that route this year seems a very simplistic solution to a bigger problem, and I feel a lot of them don't seem to think about that fact.

*That said, I also feel some voters think they have to be 200% in agreement with a politician in order to support them, and they forget that that doesn't always have to be the case, nor will it always be the case. Not all Republicans/conservatives think the same way on certain issues, nor do all Democrats/liberals. And sometimes people from one side will agree with people on the other on certain issues.

It's like some people can't comprehend the concept of nuance and balance, and figure it has to be all or nothing.

Bah. 100%, that should say, not 200% :p. Wow.

I feel stuck in a place where I don't agree 100% with either candidate and I'd be happy to vote for the candidate who I agree with more, but both of them either make shit up or lie so much or flip flop on everything that I have no idea what either of them will bring in reality.

TPP > anti TPP > back to pro TPP again. What am I voting for??
