It gets tiresome when I go to the voting booth. I'm there, typically, to cast my habitual protest vote against the rotten, extreme-controlled democrat party and gop-er party, meaning I vote for a 3rd-party candidate. But those candidates tend to be some real rotten choices themselves. Real slim pickins...
Most often the third-party route comes down to a choice between some extreme right-wing libertarian freak or some loony leftist "green" party goof (or other similarly unappetizing options). Flip a coin, as far as I'm concerned. But maybe soon there will be a much better option...
A new bill in New Hampshire would add "none of the above" as an option to select on every election ballot. Nevada already has this option available on its ballots (pic at the top), and it's great the possibility's starting to crop up elsewhere.
I couldn't say it better myself than the sponsor of the New Hampshire measure, who says: "Voters should have the chance to express their dissatisfaction with all the candidates for a given office . . . Real choice means people have to be able to withhold their consent."
Of course, the slimy two-party apparatus of our current corrupt political system doesn't want you to have any real choice. They want to brainwash you with ancient antiquated notions of it being your "civic duty" to "pick a side" between far leftist and right-winger parties who do not reflect a majority of the people in this country.
Give me "none of the above" over those two non-choices any day of the week. "None of the above" won't lie to you. Won't destroy your health care. Won't run up $17 trillion in national debt. Won't send your kid off to be whacked out or maimed in needless wars. But "none of the above" does have the potential to fully embarrass the people who have done all those terrible things. And that ain't nothing but nothing but good.
