And this is exactly why I don't affiliate with either major party.

I used to consider myself Republican because I was frustrated at the majority party (Democrat) always messing stuff up in my home state. I ended up moving for school to a red state, and the majority party there was always messing stuff up. It was then I realized that the problem isn't with one party, it's with politics in general.

I registered with the largest third party in my state (happens to be Libertarian) and I vote for whatever candidate I think is least bad. In 2016, that was Gary Johnson, in 2020 it was Joe Biden, and in 2024 it was Chase Oliver. It doesn't really matter who I vote for because the R candidate will always win with at least 20% margin, so I vote my conscience.

I'm not saying both sides are the same, I'm saying both sides age liars and massive disappointments.
