Unfortunately, in every election cycle we are presented with 2 "mainstream" candidates. 1 from the left, 1 from the right. Like it or not, this is a 2 party system, and that's just the way it is. We have to choose the candidate who most closely adheres to our individual values. 1 candidate represents 65% of what we truly believe, the other fulfills (in electioneering talk) 25% or less, of what we believe. Which one do you choose? Sitting it out "on principle" only helps the guy whose belief system least mirrors our own. I'll choose the guy who most closely resembles my beliefs, and will NEVER sit out an election on principle- just because I'm not in lock-step with the guy who is closer to my beliefs. The lesser of 2 evils is exactly that. Sitting it out on principle only helps the other side.

So why should we settle for choosing between two candidates that are presented for the mainstream that only differ on just enough issues so that one looks right-wing and the other looks left-wing? Both candidates share the same views on: continuing the integration of America with the rest of the world through globalization, ridding the American citizen of their guns through a process of sensible "gun control", and increasing socialism throughout America by offering and increasing government welfare. It seems that the democrats enact the policies that are destroying America during their control of the government, and then the republicans get their shot at the government but the policies that the democrats enacted are not changed or scuttled. The only thing that happens is that the republican masses go back to sleep because there is an R in the White House or in control of part of Congress. The globalism and socialism is not ended by the republicans in office they just cool the ire of the people so that the democrats can enact more socialism during their next round in control. I will not vote for socialism, not even just a little socialism just so we keep a larger amount of socialism at bay. I will not take three steps toward socialism just to avoid taking one step toward it. I will vote non-socialist knowing that America will still end up socialist because that is what the masses have been taught to want by the media for one, but I did not help put America into socialism willingly through small steps. And remember that, any non-socialist, non-globalist would be unelectable.
