For me, it boils down to a simple question. Which party has my best interests at heart? Because only sheep vote for their own butchers. I am a Zoo, a hedonist, a nudist, I am bi, a promiscuous slut, and I love porn. Above of all this, I believe in the equality of all humans, and their right to pursue their own happiness and sexuality. And I believe that animals should be treated fairly. I see organized religion as what it is: a concept to fleece the sheep and to keep them in check by telling them their unbearable status quo is an imaginary God's will. I also lived and worked in countries with universal health care and know for a fact that the American anti-"socialist" health care stanza is based on the lie that our health care system is somehow better than Canada's Switzerland's, Germany's, and Sweden's. It is not!
Why would I vote for any party that promotes Biblical "values", denies women the right to their own bodies, and tries to police our bedrooms by passing anti zoo, anti-gay and anti porn legislation? Why would I vote for a party that promotes AG gag laws, and criminalizes animal rights activists trying to help animals, held in squalid conditions? I also would like to leave a half-way decent environment for my children to live in. Why would I vote for a party that denies science, promotes fossil fuels, and denies global warming, when I see the fall out of gobal warming with my own eyes?
I am also not exactly rich, so why would I vote for a party that believes corporations are people, and whose tax laws benefit only the upper 3% of the electorate, on top of denying health care to half of the population, so pharmaceutical and medical companies can keep raking in Trillions in profits every year?
