Reply #169: I don't disagree with the principles here

[Pobeka]

I'm just in a quandry of how exactly to fix things without causing damage in the process. Like I said earlier, I think work the issue of the right-leaning democrats during the primaries, and vote them out then. But, if the election realistically comes down to the choice between a Dem and W, I gotta vote Dem. So, I'm in that class of voters who are waiting for a viable third party to put real pressure on the political system. I wish like heck we had it. I wonder if those ~50% of the population who didn't vote could make a difference if they got engaged, and saw the opportunity for a third party to make the other 2 parties more responsive and accountable.

This is hard stuff to contemplate. Thanks to everyone for sharing their views on this.
