LESSER OF TWO EVILS

Let us let go of our innocence and embrace reality.

Anytime you are voting, you are voting for the lesser of two evils. Well, at least I hope you are. But lets not take this expression out of context. It is not necessarily the fault of any one politician, it is the system. The system is evil!

Just because capitalism is the best system the world has seen, it does not mean it is the right one.

So how can I be making these claims? Well...

Guy A wants to drill Alaska VS Guy B who wants to put money into clean energy

Guy A wants tax cuts for the rich VS Guy B who wants to tax the rich
AND SO ON, AND SO FORTH

So, depending on personal belief, one guy is the right guy, and therefore not evil. I am with guy B all the way, so how is he still evil?

Well... Even though I agree with all the things guy B wants to do, what about all the other things I want done that will see no progress?

Guy B is better for a number of reasons, in my opinion, but he is still discouraging our children from thinking by allowing standardized test to be required. Now teachers have to focus ONLY on getting their students ready for these tests, and that they can't teach anything else. So now we have a noneducational education system that not only wants, but needs people to be incapable of thinking critically.

Guy B is also evil because of his personal interests. He is not going to be willing to do something potentially good if people don't understand and down the road will cost him votes.

And the list goes on and on.

Because the system is what is evil, choosing the lesser of two evils is unarguably necessary.
So please, don't discourage people from voting because they think all of their choices are evil. Try to understand why they would make such a claim and start thinking more realistically about what is going on in politics.

Thank You.
