I probably fall in a strange political no man's land in my country.
I think both major parties are corrupt. We spend too much to be safe or fiscally secure. The government tries to expand its power constantly. I have no desire to police the world or dispatch armies beyond my borders when I haven't been attacked. I have no desire to dictate the private lives of citizens. I could care less what anyone does in their bedrooms. I also want a societal safety net and have no desire to step over starving children in the street. Whether that should be handled by government or private charity--I'm indifferent. I don't resent those that need help. I'm for legalizing drugs and emptying prisons of non-violent criminals. I mostly want people working, a vibrant economy, and safe borders and property rights. I'm not sure there's a place for those of us in the US that don't toe some party line. I'm simply glad I don't have to put up with this crap for another 4 years. Nothing will change in any positive way no matter hitch of these jokers get in. So, the same deal every four years.
