I'm with you on this one. I've been anti-war since I was able to form my own opinions with any rationality, and the fact that the criticism of the war stopped once democrats were in control of it was part of what made me switch from the Democratic Party to the PSL.
Unfortunately, I hate both major party candidates this year, but I'd rather have Obama than Romney. Romney and his party seem way too interested in my uterus, and while I truly believe that Obama's as much a corporate lapdog as any president's ever been, at least he doesn't want to control my body like the GOP does.
I'll be voting for Jill Stein this year, since
most of what she says correlates with how I feel on issues, and the PSL wasn't able to get a candidate on the ballots in enough states to make any kind of difference at all. Jill Stein (And Gary Johnson, who's got a cult following.) might actually get campaign funding for her party, which
still probably won't change anything, but I have to at least try.
