do you not understand that's all about money on both sides? Or are you at a point in your life where your race, family, and so on take you to a place of delusion where you really feel you can identify with a certain political disposition that actually matters in 2014?

Genuine question.

None of them are very good, but the Republicans represent everything I despise.

Great answer. Sometimes I can't find what I want, but I always know what I don't want.

Thats not a genuine question, what it is,is a false dilemma fallacy created to make people choose one of 2 answers based on the opinion of the questioner when in reality there are more than 2 possible answers.

Sure; it takes money to run anything including political elections ;like that around the world. I also know what a party platform is and have read them for both parties. OP; you seem delusional by your judging people you do not even know and certainly that's has prejudice as it gets.

Among the intellectually adult, they are not.

8/10 politicians are all but open about the fact that they are for sale. There is very little ambition to hide it anymore.

ad hominem , calling people dumb if they disagree with you even though there is no actual proof to your claims.

Republicans run on a platform I agree with but have intention of ever implementing it.

Democrats run on a platform I totally disagree with

Genuine question.
Brutal honesty: It's a two-party system. By age 18, if you have any intelligence, you should know if you're a Democrat or Republican. In our system, anything BUT a two-party system would be stupid and irrational. If you don't like it, you should be advocating for a constitutional amendment to change our system. Voters are not being stupid. In a First-Past-the-Post system, we are being logical and rational in choosing a two-party system. This is science, not opinion (I was a Poli Sci major.) That is the nature of the beast, and you're not smarter than the rest of us for saying what you're saying. The rest of us are accepting a necessary evil, and you should be too unless you're going to go on a push for a constitutional amendment to change the system entirely (which I would love, btw, but until it happens a two-party system is just what we have here, and get used to it!)
