I've majorly changed my views in the past 5 years but Romney wasn't much of a choice. I fell for the white guilt and racial harmony rhetoric in 2008 plus McCain is a war monger.
I prefer Republican social & economic policies. Hate global politics

turning people, esp young PROGRESSIVE people, away from politics, is a Repug/VRWC strategy.
Fewer people vote, the more chances Repugs have in purple states to overcome their demographic disadvantage.
Obstruct EVERYTHING, shut down the govt, pass no useful laws, regs, defund/kill govt, make govt work worse for everyone, that's the VRWC/Repug strategy.
turn off Dems, turn off independents, turn off reasonable people
Repugs don't GAF that Congress approval is 11%. They rejoice!
Repugs know that their god/guns/gays/abortion/racist/xenophobe/redneck/rousable-rabble base is highly inflammable, so they continually throw dishonest gasoline on them.

There's nothing wrong with the 2 party system. It worked for 100+ years.
Up until the 80s when the VRWC got its Useful Idiot and his VRWC hitmen in the WH, polarization wasn't so extreme, then Gingrich got control in '94 and polarization became fatal.
When Repugs simply don't want to govern, actively try to make government fail, USA is fucked and in permanent decline.

Everything is wrong with the two party system. Both platforms are too structured and don't represent the wants of the common citizen as a whole.

False equivalence.
Simple: look at all the Dem stuff that would have helped the 99%, helped America, and see ALL the Repug scorched-earth, constipated obstructions.

Re: Why do working-class Americans vote Republican?
The republicans tax policies are all fucked up, but you're crazy if you think legalizing all the illegals and having an open borders policy isn't all out warfare against the working man..those immigrants come at a faster rate than we can create jobs.
an example of why the democrats are dangerous:

we have fucking ISIS crossing the border into this country. This is a way bigger problem than a small wealthy minority paying a little less tax.

Republicans Threaten Another Shutdown Over Obamacare
A year after shutting down the government, a group of Senate Republicans are pressuring House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) to oppose any funding bill in the lame duck session that includes appropriations for a small program contained in the Affordable Care Act, potentially triggering another showdown.
The group of 14 lawmakers, led by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), have taken aim at the risk-corridor component of the health care exchanges, a temporary program designed to prevent premiums from skyrocketing during the early years of Obamacare implementation. Under this provision, the federal government will give insurers who under-estimated how much they’d have to pay out in claims a portion of the profits from insurers who overestimated their costs and set their premiums too high. The goal of the measure is to stabilize the health care market and keep premiums level.
In their letter to Boehner, however, the senators point to a government report finding that the administration “would need an additional appropriation in order to make payments in FY 2015 corresponding with the 2014 plan year” and argue that funding the initiative would “put taxpayers at risk of a large bailout if insurers systematically lose money on exchange plans.”
Supporters of the law claim that the provision is one of several consumer protections that crafted to stabilize the health care market during Obamacare’s first three years, when insurers will have little historical data upon which to base health premiums for new customers. They argue that
should the senators succeed in shutting the program down, insurance companies could potentially pass on premium increases to millions of Americans
http://thinkprogress.org/health/2014...ver-obamacare/
health insurers have been fucking America for 35 years, ACA won't stop them, nor cause them to keep fucking America.

very true. liberals know that their "we really DO love you" rhetoric works on young kids. its why obama did remarkably well in the election on voters from age 18-25. basically got a bunch of kids who don't pay taxes to agree to raise taxes.
just for reference i dont support the GOP either. i haven't been a fan of any presidential candidate since i was old enough to understand politics. just that living in socal i get a lot of liberal shit pushed down my throat so i naturally lash out against liberals more than conservatives

this^10
not to mention how polar the two parties have become. if an elected official ever has ONE view that aligns with the other party, he gets crucified by his own guys. this is why everybody saw mccain and romney as retreads of GWB, and Obama as a retread of Kerry
