I have been fed up. Started voting and following third party quite some time.

The democrats and republicans are always blaming each other. They cannot find ground to agree with each other. They go back and forth, claiming they have done great leading the country. And where are we? Still blaming other parties, paying more and more taxes, more laws forbidding us than allowing...

It's time to make a change for this country. For the better. We could use a overhaul of some of these draconian laws that are STILL in place.

Maybe a third party can do this. Maybe it can't.

When politicians are concerned about the ones they represent instead of lining their own pockets, maybe...Just MAYBE, things can change for the better.

The answer to your question lies within that quoted sentence.

"Either ruling party" is all you need to know. A 3rd party would be "one more RULING party" and they would not be properly representing their constituents either, given that they are RULERS, not servants.

Here's what you can do without requiring a single thing from anyone else - stop consenting to their rule. Any of them. Your vote is not currency, it's not a requirement, nor a duty. It is your consent to be governed, your agreement to take part in a rigged game with an end goal of your destruction. Don't give that consent. Don't sanction their abuse of you.

When you vote, you are consenting to give people power to harm you and other Americans in the name of some ideological, economic or personal goal. Your vote is their permission slip to use force and violence against others. Why play that game? You will be ruled, oppressed and consumed as a resource no matter what, but if you refuse to give consent, you can always take comfort in knowing they couldn't make you agree to it.

My lack of vote may someday be that one vote that "allows" someone the partisans don't want elected, but what do I care? Nobody possessing a monopoly on force and violence could possibly represent me anyway, so all I have left is my refusal to sanction their behavior by taking part in their game. They can tax me, assault me, even kill me, but they simply cannot force my agreement or acquiescence.

tl;dr - can't rape the willing, so stop voting and at least know in your heart you tried to fight back and resist.

I'm not in tune w/ either party, esp. as Democrats have gone too far left, but will not vote Republican.
