Are you well ? <| sep |> How is space rift ? I heard comparisons to decent , so I ' ve been interested in it <| sep |> You don ' t have to file jointly . Whether filing jointly results in a higher or lower tax bill depends mainly on how different your incomes are . If you both make the same , then you would probably pay more filing jointly . m a r r i a gepenaltyandmarriagebonus <| sep |> You are they . More specifically he . <| sep |> I completely understand what you ' re saying and I ' m sorry to be a defeatist again but it ' s just not possible to get that many Americans to agree to make such an abnormal and risky decision when the norm is to vote Democratic or Republican . You underestimate the laziness of the average American as well as the power of our sources of influence like the mainstream media . The media simply won ' t even give coverage to the other candidates in the first place and if they do its only to point out a flub like when they shit on Johnson for his Aleppo situation . In the meantime , most people won ' t go do the research to even find out more about those candidates let alone actually consider voting for them because of the immense pressure to vote for one of the main party candidates . Hell , half the country is too fucking lazy to even get off the couch and vote in the first place . It ' s pathetic but its the way it is and there ' s no chance it changes soon . The fact that both main candidates were such shit actually persuades more people to vote for one of them just to vote against the other one . Like I said , the system is broken and as long as there ' s no plans to change that , I don ' t see third party candidates having a chance any time soon unfortunately .
