A third party? How not to settle for the lesser of two evils

[egbertowillies]

I am out in field often. A large percentage of millennials are toying with third party candidates. That is a huge mistake. Those who want to vote third party now should read this.

1. When I was much younger, the age that Millennials are now,

I often toyed with the idea of third party candidates.

And keep in mind that young people don't vote as consistently as their elders. So honestly, don't worry about them.

2. Democrats are a trillion times better

1. Education no question. Democrats believe in educating everyone!
2. Investment in infrastructure no question. Believes in roads open for everyone.
3. Science investment no question. Believes in global warming, medical science, etc.
4. Safetynet no question. Cares about the poor, old and disabled!

Is the democrats perfect on the issues? NO, but it isn't evil at all. There's as much of a difference between the parties as one could imagine. The republican party is evil to the core!

Only someone that hates the good in search of the impossible perfect could even consider a third party.

4. A third party in the US will go no where. The Democrats and the Republicans

are the main parties, same here as in Canada, our population is much smaller, but it is either the Liberal or the Conservatives. If the young people can come together and create, let's say a party for the people, it will take a long time for the young people to gain momentum, however, they are trying. Politics in America is changing, but for now, I just want the Dems to nominate a viable candidate who will win in 2020 over that piece a shit you all now have for the occupier of the White House!

Forgot to say that the NRA controls most republicans as the NRA donate to them in order for its agenda to continue.

6. Its a choice between the good guys and the bad guys.

A liberal third party would only help the bad guys.

7. People casting Democrats as "the lesser of two evils" don't know what evil is.

8. How about posting the article or excerpts here instead of just a link to your site....

....which has ads and asks for money.

Democratic Underground is a discussion site, not the classified section of the newspaper.

Thanks.
