But the "Australian Sex Party" is not on the ballot for President. The Libertarian nominee, however, is on the ballot in enough states to have a mathematical chance of winning. Unfortunately, both of the major party candidates are so terrible that people on both sides of the aisle feel obligated to vote against whomever they think is slightly more evil than the other. Some polls have shown that 80% of Americans would vote for a 3rd party if they had the opportunity, but with so much money being spent to maintain the status quo by the same bankers who own all of the major media outlets...most people don't even KNOW that there is a real and legitimate option this year, so realistically the odds of a pro-
Harm Reduction candidate actually winning are pretty small.
For me, however, I will no longer be wasting my vote on the evil of two lessers. Both of the major parties receive the majority of their funding from multinational banks and giant companies (including the Big Pharma companies that sponsor propaganda hoping to ban non-pharmaceutical alternatives to smoking) so as far as I'm concerned, both parties are working against my interest. Neither of the major party candidates has a plan to balance the budget during their administration, so anyone who thinks that we need to balance the budget and start paying down the debt rather than slowing down the rate of GROWTH of the deficit is completely wasting their vote on either the red or blue corporation (read: organized crime gangsters gone "legit" by infiltration) sponsored candidates. In my personal opinion, voting for any third party (even one with no chance of actually winning) is less of a wasted vote than continuing to vote for the evil of two lessers.
