Can this please be the year that partisan politics and the two party political system dies???
The so-called "leadership" of each major party cares nothing about all of us and is more likely than not all great friends while we squabble amongst ourselves.
I'm looking at you, Democrats and Republicans. Why should I be forced to choose between Pepsi and Coke? What if I want milk, or tea, or water and don't want a bad-for-me sugary drink? (Lesser of two evils, anyone? The lesser of two evils is still evil.)
Why, when there are 300 million plus people in this country, and when you whittle it down due to eligibility, why is my choice between two creepy, cranky, old, rich, white dudes? There must be a thousand other well qualified candidates out there, but y'all don't demand better, so this is what we get.
The system IS rigged, but I believe if enough of us say "ENOUGH!" we can actually make a difference. This is yours, your children's, and your grandchildren's future. Make the most of it. Come, join me. All it takes is not just taking what you're dished out and being willing to have civil discourse with everyone. Stop just surviving and start thriving.
The meme I'm adding can go both ways, Democrat or Republican. Remember, I'm not rooting for either, I want both to lose.
