If I could go back in time and either kill Hilter or convince Obama to lay off Trump at that White House Correspondents' Dinner, the Jews would have lived 3 out of 4 times, but that 4th time, it would have been Rubio vs. Clinton (the butch one).

I bet GWBush is scarred of it too. Even if he is a republican.

People should decide to vote for a party they agree with rather than the faux two-sided coin we deal with today. We are multi-party system yet everyone treats it as bipartisan.

The two parties WANT you to think you are "wasting your vote" by voting for something other than them. The fact that you CAN vote for another party disproves this. Vote for a party you actually believe in, and keep voting, spread the message and you will see change.

All it takes is one vote, and maybe you won't be that vote, but you can tell someone else to do the same. Maybe they won't be that vote, but the next person can be, or the next person. You see where I'm getting at?

That's called a movement, and it starts with you.

I was surprised that this was the actual headline and not some interpretation of OP.
