My only blog regarding politics

I've had a few people tell me recently that voting for a third party is throwing my vote away. Sorry. Don't see it that way. I'm not going to change my opinion on whom would best run the country based on the status quo. This country is not a two-party system. This country has lots of different political parties and two just happen to overwhelm all of the other ones. I think it's irresponsible and hateful to tell someone that their opinion is wrong and to vote for one of the major parties even if they don't believe in the principles of either one "for the greater good." Where does it stop? Will there be a point that only the two big parties exist? And then what? Will they slowly merge together to become one party? Will we then only have one ideology governing the nation?

Not cool. Definitely not cool.
