Regardless of his position on drug prohibition, Rump is a terrible choice to lead this country. I wish Bernie was on the November ballot. Failing that, I wish Jill Stein had a realistic chance of winning the election; I really would prefer her over Hillary. The two-party system is broken. I don't really want Hillary, but I really, really, really don't want Rump, and a vote for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson (or for that matter, a vote for Charlie Brown or Santa Claus) could potentially help Rump win.
How about "Agile Politics"? Imagine Bernie Sanders, Gary Johnson, and Jill Stein creating a lithe "policy ticket" - where they each agree one each policy, and to support each others' respective policy.
That would be a 3 policy ticket, and they might also promise to call another election once those three policies are through, or checkmated.
E.g: Bernie's "end the war on drugs" could be one policy.
Yes, the current system is broken. Who has an ear with one of these three candidates? It's actually not too late - Bernie dumping the DNC would certainly create headlines, and perhaps go some way to reclaim his balls/ dignity/ sanity...
Bernie Sanders want to propose a "War Tax" om the rich to 'make them pay their share of the cost of war"
I'll bet you think that's an antiwar position don't you?
The Pentagon should be having BAKE SALES to run their NASTY WARS, not assistance from the rich, who will GLADLY pay. Because Every single economic elite profits from war. EVERY ONE, not JUST the military industrial complex, any YOU KNOW that war tax bill will be written in such a way the fine print pays them back every penny they pay in that so-called tax, from the treasury.
Because the rich ALWAYS get richer, the poor poorer, and the bombs NEVER STOP falling.
Agile Politics. What BULLSHIT! Politicians ARE by their very job, 'shape-shifters"! Zen BUTT THE FUCK OUT OF OUR ELECTIONS because you simply aren't in a position, or it seems, truly interested, in paying attention to the what these people are actually about and you're parroting MSM Bullshit.

Good luck, fellow human.
