Political Orphans

If you're not thrilled with either political party, what do you do? One friend of mine says she's a political orphan, meaning that she's not thrilled with either major party in my country. It's more accurate to call her (and I, these days) politically homeless. Though, personally, what matters to me is elected officials simply doing what's in the best interest of the nation anyway (that's what they're actually SUPPOSED to be doing), not the party they profess affiliation with.

I’m pretty much with you. I’m ashamed of both parties, and while I respect one side more, I don’t respect them enough to want to vote for any of them. I can’t imagine not exercising my valuable right to vote, but lord have mercy, is there anyone who deserves that vote?

My father, for years, adopted a policy of voting for whoever he figured would "do the least damage" @AmbiePam

@jnrdutton That is exactly how I voted in 2016 and 2020.

I do not think they are for the people any more.

There's good aspects of each party, but so much extremism takes us to the brink. In a major crisis, the parties come together to solve the problem and to avoid brinkmanship.
