I am not married to a political party, either. I am supporting Gary Johnson because he seems by far the closest to what I believe is right, even though I do not think him ideal. But if a better candidate were found under a different party label, I would not hesitate to vote my conscience.

I am glad years ago you pointed out to me there were other ways because at the time I was so entrenched in the Democratic way of thinking. It did not make our country more economically prosperous, and I think that is important. As someone who has never benefited from a union or crony capitalism, I no longer see the point of supporting Democrats who like to spend a lot. Now Democrats and Republicans seem on the same page regarding hawkish foreign policy, so what is the difference anymore. Someone points out a woman running for office might not agree with another woman running for office, and the response is "I am with Hillary". I suppose the changing point came for me when I realized I am not married to a political party. I am not a strong Libertarian like you Aya, but I am tired of all the salacious gossip and out and out promotion of one candidate over others.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147781152448695481noreply@blogger.com
