I understand and realize there are a lot of folks to the left of the Democratic Party. Just like there are a lot of folks to the right of the Republican Party. That's life.

There are those, perhaps more than one thinks that will not vote for the lesser of two evils. That they want their perfect candidate or none. Some like I, voted third party whether than choose between two evils in 2016. How many stayed home, who knows? 6% of the total electorate voting third party against both major party candidates is the most since Perot ran in 1996. Perot had money, name recognition, media attention, an organization, ways of getting his message out, none of the third party candidates in 2016 had any of that, none of it. So 6% is really amazing. Compare that to 2012, 1.5% vote third party. In 2008 1.2% did and in 2004, 1.0%.

But is choosing the lesser of two the best choice or is sitting it out or voting third party? That is up to each individual to decide in my opinion.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
