3rd party and independent contestants only from this point forward

i've been a loyal voting democrat for 24 years, that stops now

i'm not a racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, bent on selling fear duplicative condescending asshat capable of cognitive dissonance explaining away hypocrisy, so i can't be a tea-bagging republican

i'm not a authoritarian corporatist sell-out either, so i can't be a spineless democrat

if someone says that is not “politically feasible”, it only means that others have given more money to vote the other way

your, and this country's, best interest are not being addressed, don't expect otherwise

yeah, those consitutional protections were getting mighty bothersome
