And it's not like any third party is going to win. The US is a 2 party system, because first past the post voting is flawed. We need voting reform. If we had selective voting (You list your candidates from most to least favorite, the most preferred candidate wins) we wouldn't have a 2 party system, other parties would come to light, such as a new analogue to the old Whig (Centrist) party.
This doesn't even mention how flawed the idea of a republic is. The people need more power, as it is we just choose our own tyrants. If the people don't like a law [E.G. SOPA, nobody liked SOPA] we wouldn't have to fight nail and tooth to stop it, we could just vote against it. |

| The GOP is going to change. The Evangelical nuts are losing, and with the rise of the youth vote, we're gonna see the GOP turn into a party of mostly libertarians. |

| That would be the Democratic party, because most hipsters need them to support their fledgling/failed urban arts degree and what not. |

"Urban art (from Latin urbanus, itself from urbs (“city”)) is a style of art that relates to cities and city life often done by artists who live in or have a passion for city life. In that way urban art combines street art and graffiti and is often used to summarize all visual art forms arising in urban areas, being inspired by urban architecture or thematizing urban live style. Because the urban arts are characterized by existing in the public space, they are often viewed as vandalism and destruction of private property. Even though sometimes this form of art leads to vandalism the creators do not see themselves as vandals. Although urban art started at the neighbourhood level, where a lot of people of different cultures live together, it is an international art form with an unlimited number of uses nowadays. A lot urban artists are travelling from city to city and have social contacts all over the world. The notion of 'Urban Art' developed from street art which is primarily concerned with graffiti culture. Urban art represents a broader cross section of artists that as well as covering traditional street artists working in formal gallery spaces also covers artists using more traditional media but with a subject matter that deals with contemporary urban culture and political issues. The most noted gallery in the UK that deals with Urban art is Lazarides Gallery. In Paris, Le Mur is a public museum of urban art."

Yeah, I personally liked Rick Santorum. - Rick Santorum fits the perfect description of the psychotic dictator from "V for Vendetta".

There's a big difference between psychosis and psychopathy. I don't think you know what psychotic means, the two are definitely not interchangeable. |
