Been having this discussion rather often lately and thought I'd bring it here.
Republicans argue that Obama is terrible because he doesn't do anything. Democrats argue that the Republicans are terrible because they block everything and have sworn to not let anything Obama wants pass.
I argue that both the Republicans and Democrats are terrible.
I don't even know if it's realistic - at least not in today's political environment - but shouldn't a good leader be able to overcome the opposition? If Obama was a good leader, and worth re-election, shouldn't he have been able to sway some of the republicans to his side for some kind of consensus building?
I'll state my position again so there's no confusion. I think both parties are terrible. I have always voted Republican but am definitely not voting for a single one this election. What I'm not entirely sure about is whether I should vote for Obama or a 3rd party candidate. I'm so disappointed in our entire political system and everyone who represents us. They're going to ruin our country by not solving our problems and passing on the problems to the next generation over and over again.
