I used to be a Democrat then I became a Republican (around the same time everyone started loving Dems and hating Reps). Now i have reached the point where i truly can't stand either party. There are different things i strongly dislike about each party and little or nothing that i do like. Both parties cheerleaders seem really naive to me that they believe their party stands for good. 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 truly despise both. They don't care for us. It is the lobbyist that fill their pockets and we don't. I wish they would all be in one building and the roof came down on every one of the politicians.

Count me, I hate both parties and think America should have more political parties with a fair shot.

The "two" parties are like pro wrestling. Fans like to get dressed up, buy bumper stickers & scream their lungs out at the bad guy, while supporting their guy. At the end of the match, both wrestlers shower up together, have dinner/drinks together, hop in a shared rental car & drive to the next town to repeat the show. They laugh at the idiots who think it's real. This is politics today.

The only "wasted" vote is for one of the two major parties, imo. The only way change can be effected is by enough of us voting 3rd party. If enough do that means these parties are losing voters & then they HAVE to change policy in order to retain their voters. That's why is matters.

Between the Republicans and the Democrats I figure I could flip a coin and the outcome would be the same for me either way.

I disliked both political parties and their candidates for president so much that I left the presidential part of my ballot blank in Nov. 2012.

I've been a Democrat, and I've been a Republican. I am now an independent. I despise both political parties, although right now I tend to despise the Democratic Party slightly more than the Republican.
