(53,154 posts)Or did you just recently vote in your first election? I have to wonder what country you think you live in that a government isn't going to represent the financial interests that pay for their elections. This is a capitalist country. No one works for the people's interests, and they never have. If you're waiting for that, you're not going to have anyone to vote for.
The options are the Democrats or Republicans. You want Ted Cruz and the Tea Party to hold power, keep worrying about your principals. I myself am going to focus on the world I actually live in, not some fantasy idea of what I think politics should be. I'm not looking for a politician to make me feel good about my views. I'm voting for the best option available to me because anything else is to surrender to the far right that controls the GOP. Make no mistake about it, voting for a third party or not voting is the same as supporting the Tea Party because that is the result.
