First of all, there are more choices than merely the Democrats and Republicans - other parties become viable as people VOTE for them. Of course, too many of you sheeple believe the lies the media, the Democrats and the Republicans tell you that you must treat the election like a horse race and vote for the one that has the best chance of winning or vote for the least distasteful between Democrat and Republican. Second, just because you don't agree with every position a candidate has doesn't make the candidate evil.
Name another party you think better matches MY politics than the Democrats.

Since I don't know the details of your politics, I can't provide that information. However, take your pick:

Hmm. I would probably fit best with the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America.)

But I don't think they're running a candidate. Nor are enough people represented by that party, my point being that more people fall under the democrats and republicans than any other denomination.

Third parties become viable when people vote for them. Stand up for what you believe and don't let the Democrats try to squeeze you into their mold.

A: Perhaps you missed the part about DSA not running a candidate.
B: Not enough people will vote for them. Not enough people are that liberal. (In the US, anyway.)

They aren't running any candidates around here that I know of.

I don't even know if they exist anymore.

The liberal wing of the Democratic Party is probably closer to where I am than the DSA, and more realistic, too.

So what if they're not running a candidate: join their party, get involved, spread their message, and encourage them to run a candidate.

I suspect there are plenty of Americans that are that liberal. One of the reasons Democrats, Republicans and the media want you to believe that you shouldn't vote for these other parties is this notion of "not enough people will vote for them" and, so, setting up a self-fulfilling prophecy. But, third parties become viable when people vote for them; so, don't wait for others to vote for them before you join in. Who knows, maybe if you vote for these others and tell your friends, some of them will want to vote that way.

I strongly doubt that there are. Sorry. Kucinich was right on the money for me, anyway.
