J. Ventura had the best idea of doing away with parties all together.

Would that be Libertarian, or Puritan?

but then how would the millions of mindless masses know who to vote and cheer for without a trusty R or D next to their name as a point of reference

Neither. It would be a good idea. The only viable option is to go to a multi-party system and depend on coalitions. My hope is that the Republican party basically just killed itself, which could lead to another party or two.

'Voting' is political allegiance to this system. Do you morally align yourself with the 10 Planks? Because that is what you live under.

No one man is going to or can change this system. It will take 100 million INDIVIDUALS to decide to start living their lives responsibly and without Government handouts OF ALL KINDS.

I will repeat it: If you vote or are registered to do so you fully support the Communist Manifesto, you fully support the DEATH of the Individual and you fully support the abolition of Private Property, because those are the tenents of this system.

Do the right thing, and politically GET OUT of the United States.

It's time to revive the Anti-Federalist party.

If that is true, then so is using Federal Reserve Notes, owning a passport, driving on interstate highways, etc.

Well, the Tea Party was born, but was quickly co-opted by the GOP and money powers. How is that not going to happen again? We can call the parties whatever we want, but the only ones that will ever be in the face of the voting cattle will be the ones supported by those with the printing presses. Watch out, here comes the Libertarian Express.

True, what a disappointment. But, the Tea Party is not a political party.

He endorsed Gary Johnson you know.



I'm seriously looking at Gary Johnson. I don't give a fuck about abortion personally. It's none of my business. I know he wont win, but it's a protest vote.

The point is to show our Masters how unhappy we are with our slavery. Maybe they can throw us a carrot or an apple into our pen to calm us down. My slave collar is sweaty on my neck today by the way.

Or go with an Original Founders party.

I think it should be called the "Less Government For Reals Party". That way the Elite will have a harder time explaining away when they infiltrate it and have their Uber-Statist Warmonger plants always win elections.

At this point, why do you people even concern yourselves* with 'voting'?? lol

*I defy you to name ONE good reason for 'voting' (other than for county offices).
The problem with not voting is that you get lumped in with the huge group of people who are just too fucking lazy or uninformed to vote, so your non-vote will get interpreted as such. In fact, the opportunity to vote legitimately is a good thing, but the problem is that it's legitimacy has been corrupted. By voting for a party outside the corrupt entrenched Republicans and Democrats, you are expressing that you value your right to vote, but you refuse to comply with the stranglehold two-party paradigm by bothering to take the time and effort to vote against it.

Look at it this way. Your action is going to be interpreted as supporting one of these four groups:

% of Republican Slaves
% of Democrat Slaves
% of People Refusing to submit to corrupt two-party slavery
% of Stupid Lazy People

You don't want to be confused as part of that last group. With each passing election, you'd like to see a bigger percentage appearing in that third group. That third group is your "candidate", even if it includes votes for Jill Stein, because it represents a movement toward busting up the century-long two-party headlock.

Also, the "not voting" route is too fatalistic. It's inconsistent with the ApocalOptimist philosophy!

I'm starting to like this Gary Johnson idea.

What if you just voted within your state run elections, and nothing for the National Administration/Presidential.

As it is a position dictatorial in nature, to pushing a red button.

The way America started out one could only 'vote' as an 'elector' if: 1) one was a man, and 2) one owned land.

Now 'those *assigned* to determine who should vote' want to include illegal aliens...oops, pardon me, I believe the term is now 'undocumented aliens'.

I've thought those same things but anymore I'm thinking they'll just report the same ol' byline "the LP got .0001% of the vote" nothing to see here move along, you wasted your vote etc.. When we can see how openly the system is rigged and how little anyone cares to look even just a little it's damn disheartening. The crap the GOP pulled was in full view of everyone and what happened? NOTHING! The silence is deafening and that silence is pure complicity...what else can explain it? And to imagine that all this happened in this age of technology! This shit would have been yelled from the rooftops a 100 yrs ago and the scum would have been called to account.

I don't think the "man" thingy is going to go over too well these days.

I think the original idea was "one vote per responsible family". Right now a lot of couples cancel each other's votes (and that is probably by design).

Well, that's the root of the problem, isn't it?
