[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 120523, member: 35"] Whether a person voted Democrat or Republican in 2016, they were still going to end up with a flawed imperialist as president. Voting third party does not mean signing off on either party's evil ways. If anything, it's a rejection of their corruption and policies that ultimately hurt the poor and working classes. Not to mention plunging us into endless wars. To say voting third party favors one candidate over another is an undemocratic point of view because it suggests our votes are owed to a candidate in the first place. I recall Chuck Schumer saying the Democrats would pick up two moderate Republicans for every blue collar Democrat they lost. If you turn your back on your base, they will do the same to you. Republicans don't screw their base the way Democrats do. They're blatant in being a party of socially and economically conservatives, and their policies reflect that. Democrats, on the other hand, use platitudes to appease their base. They especially talk a big game about how opposed to Trump they are, but many of their voting records suggest otherwise. Under the Obama Adminstration, we ended up in more wars than under Bush, increased surveillance, a right wing healthcare plan, the Bush tax cuts made permanent, and so on. It was change on the outside, and continuity on the inside. Hillary's fatal flaw was not pretending to be anything different, even going as far as admitting she would be business as usual. [/QUOTE]
