    This is entertaining, but unless you're 16 and have no dependents or anything you are responsible for or give a crap about, it's not something adults should do. Nihilism is for cosplay, not real life.

    A middle finger is not profound or honorable. It's lazy and unimaginative. And in this case it's dangerous.

    If you want to vote for the guy because of partisanship, fine, go do that. But don't sell this as some sort of hard scrabble rebellion. It's just a bunch of idiots who lack the courage and/or intelligence to actually work for a real difference.

      How do you deal with a middle finger?

        A middle finger is not profound or honorable. It's immature and stupid. And in this case it's dangerous and disgusting.

        An obvious solution is complete replacement. A more logical one would be to eliminate the extremists from all parties.

                “You might have noticed that I never complain about politicians. I leave that to others. And there’s no shortage of volunteers; everyone complains about politicians. Everyone says they suck. But where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky; they don’t pass through a membrane from a separate reality. They come from American homes, American families, American schools, American churches, and American businesses. And they’re elected by American voters. This is what our system produces, folks. This is the best we can do. Let’s face it, we have very little to work with. Garbage in, garbage out. So maybe it’s not the politicians who suck; maybe it’s something else. Like the public. That would be a nice realistic campaign slogan for somebody: “The public sucks. Elect me.” Put the blame where it belongs: on the people. Because if everything is really the fault of politicians, where are all the bright, honest, intelligent Americans who are ready to step in and replace them? Where are these people hiding? The truth is, we don’t have people like that. Everyone’s at the mall, scratching his balls and buying sneakers with lights in them. And complaining about the politicians.”
                -George Carlin

                This "All politicians suck" meme people are using today isnt innovative or rebellious, it is the same lazy rhetoric people have used for decades.

                            the political equivalent of "sending thoughts and prayers". Not going to accomplish a **** thing, except make you feel better about yourself.

                            Johnson knows he isn't going to win. I doubt he believes half of the libertarian bull **** he says (and it is bull **** that no sane person would actually believe). He's saying it because running on the libertarian ticket every 4 years is his new career.

                              Hoping it's not another terrible crypto-fascist "24." There is one good sign.
