Why should we even waste our time voting for President anymore?

people should just stop voting democrat or republican and vote for other parties, they do exist you know

That is what this thread is about. We know they exist but they do not matter. Why waste our time? If I knew a certain type of Lottery ticket that  had a propensity to lose more than win do you think I would waste my time voting for it?

But then we have these two yahoo's that is our only other choice.

If the elections were fairer and the other parties got the campaign budget like democrats and republicans and were actually in the debates then, people might actually vote for them. We may know about these smaller parties (Libertarians, green, Constitution parties, Independents) but i'm sure the average citizen doesn't. They don't really look into politics, they just believe what they see in the campaign ads and the debates, and I don't think they realise there is an alternative choice. Things change with enough people power, giving up is not an option. If you're happy with the government and enough people agree, the change will come eventually.
