text: why dont americans ever vote for another political party besides democrats and republicans? democrats and republicans are woned and bought by corporations. they never do anything good for citizens. why arent both parties voted out of office? i generally do vote for another party. the libertarian party is the most viable 3rd party alternative. i think that most republicans and most democrats are just as evil as each other, maybe just in different ways, so it makes no difference to me which one is in office. to those who say i am wasting my vote i say that at least i am voting for someone i can believe in, not for a lesser of 2 evils. if more people voted for who they really wanted, we'd be better off, even if it is just sending a message to the powers that otherwise be.
