This doesn't say anything Will. It just says you're going to a prty out of protest to the major 2. Protesting is fine, but there are no true values in protesting just to protest. The Green Party is 95% owned by the Democrats. If a Green gets in power he/she 'll just go along with the Dems because they have no true platform.

I want a party to show me a platform I can believe in, that inspires me, that shows me they believe in positive change and not just taxing people into oblivion, a party that somewhat holds the ideals and beliefs that I do and that is not going to kowtow to the special interests.

The GOP isn't that powerful and the Dems are weak only because they sold themselves and their beliefs out.
