So basically, the only way you feel this way is that you think it would advance your personal views. You don't really believe the garbage you put about freedom isn't really free. - - - Updated - - - He wasn't a junkie, he was a cokehead.
You sir have my vote. I am a believer in the no party system. What we have now is a DNC/RNC co-op system than ensures we get system candidates instead of real leaders. Hopefully the attention that Sanders and Trump are getting is a step toward breaking this stagnate monopoly.
No, and I will tell you why. As much as I will vote in many elections, via the mail in process, I do not think I should be mandated to vote. You have the right to vote, it should not be a mandatory thing. With 60%+ of eligible voters over 2008 and 2012, it should be clear that there is an eagerness to vote. We should not mandate this. We should, however, give options to voting for the candidates we want in office. Get modern and allow online voting.
