I have loved politics from an unusually young age (as a boy i would rather watch political conventions than play outside) but today i am cynical at the whole system . I feel like i need to find a third party to waste my vote on or not vote at all.

So does anyone else hate both parties...to the point where they don't even believe there is a "lesser of two evils". If so i would like to hear from you and why you feel that way.
I have grown to dispise the policies and the actions of the political leaders in both parties.

Both the republicans and democrats have become nothing but self-serving corporatists. The politicians in both parties only bicker and fight among themselves over who has conrol of committee seats and which of them is speaker of the house. Other than that they are essentially the same political party.

I forgot to add that our politicians are also in bed with the mega corps.
Because they are corporatists. The revolving door between the federal government administrative departments, Wall Street, K Street, the TV and cable news networks and print media is dizzying, to say the least.

A world without "isms", may it happen in my lifetime.
It is your statement that is useless. If you have a supportable argument then make it, but an unsupported statement is worthless.
