How many more of these stinking, double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me and the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to vote FOR something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils?
In his book "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72," Hunter S. Thompson expresses a deep frustration with the political landscape, questioning how many more undesirable political events will occur before a meaningful national election is possible. He highlights the sentiment shared by millions who feel trapped in a cycle of choosing between candidates who are not truly appealing. This predicament leaves voters feeling disillusioned and yearning for authentic options in the electoral process.
Thompson’s quote captures the essence of a broader discontent with politics, where citizens often face the challenging decision of selecting the lesser of two evils rather than supporting a candidate they genuinely believe in. This recurring theme of dissatisfaction illustrates a significant gap in the political system, emphasizing the need for transformative change that allows voters to advocate for a genuine choice, aligning more closely with their values and beliefs.
