Isn't it kinda weird that third parties only make an effort every 4 years? (i.imgflip.com)

You'd think midterms would be a great time to get your name out there and run high profile candidates to win House districts led by charlatans...

Everyone has skeletons. Expecting people to be saints is unreasonable. I just think there are particular sins we don't need in our leaders.

Drug use? Fine; whatever. Sexual picadillos? As long as it isn't little kids, I don't care. Cheating on their spouse? I don't care. That's between them and their spouse. I really don't give a shit that Trump was using prostitutes; I do care that the hypocrite Christians are looking the other way on that one. But IMO, none of this is a major influence on their ability to do their jobs.

But: taking money from foreign interests is bad. I wish we could illegalize all organized "funding". Money in politics is a huge problem that we haven't solved.
